![]() ![]() Unfortunately, the two sisters undertake a risky adventure that backfires and as a result they’re pressed into a position of having to leave the Island of Janda Bai so as not to draw unfavourable attention. Muna finds herself helping in the household in other ways. Sakti is the only one of the sisters who presents with any magical ability and is trained as such. The two eventually fall under the protection and tutelage of a local witch known as Mak Genggang. They both have no memories of who they are, where they’re from, or anything else of significance basically, other than they know they’re sisters. The opening sequence brings to us two sisters, stranded on a beach on the island of Janda Baik, Muna and Sakti. I think it’s a really good idea to be honest although it’s also a little bit fraught in that you’re not getting the characters you already came to know so at the same time it’s something of a gamble. Well, it does follow events from the first book, and some of the characters are present here, but we follow a different story and focus on different people. ![]() To be clear, this is not really a sequel as such. I think if I was pressed I would have to own that the first in the series caught my attention in quite a dramatic fashion and made it somewhat difficult to compete with but I think the True Queen does a really good job as a follow up. The True Queen is the second in the Sorcerer Royal series by Zen Cho and it’s a book that I really enjoyed. ![]()
