Vena Lore’s Reviews > The Empire Wars > Status Update

I am zipping through this book. I don't *love* Coa, and I perfer Ife's chapters because she's got more interesting stuff going on (I think I just like the politics aspects better)
Hazen Creed is still not a character??? It's weird, I thought he'd show up way more than he has
Max is...weirdly my favorite male character, he's very complex and I like that

Already really liking this!
I didn't expect it to be quite on the nose, when I heard it was dystopian fantasy I was expecting a dystopian in a fantasy world but it really punches you in the gut with the real world references. It's not lost on me that the empire is also called 'The allied force', which feels very pointed in today's American politics...
