This book is set in Malaysia at the beginning, and I enjoyed reading about the difference in the climate and environment of Malaysia and UK, having lived in both countries.Īt the beginning, I was confused as to how this book ties in with the first, but I grew to enjoy it a lot. See my review for Sorcerer to the Crown here. There were some things I didn’t quite like, but all in all it was a good read. I requested The True Queen from Netgalley because I quite enjoyed reading the first book. As she’s drawn into their intrigues, she must uncover the secrets of her past, and journey into a world with more magic than she had ever dreamed. If Muna is to save her sister, she must learn to navigate high society, and trick the English magicians into believing she is a magical prodigy. The only hope of saving her is to go to distant Britain, where the Sorceress Royal has established an academy to train women in magic. They have been cursed by an unknown enchanter, and slowly Sakti starts to fade away. When sisters Muna and Sakti wake up on the peaceful beach of the island of Janda Baik, they can’t remember anything, except that they are bound as only sisters can be.
