STARRED REVIEW

The Lotus Empire

And lo, a second series in the Sapphic Trifecta comes to a close. If you’re not in the know (read: way too online and/or a Tumblr user), you may not have heard of this most holy of groupings, which consists of C.L. Clark’s The Unbroken, Shelley Parker-Chan’s She Who Became the Sun and Tasha Suri’s The Jasmine Throne, all of which were released to instant acclaim in 2021 and all of which featured epic sapphic relationships at their heart. Parker-Chan’s duology ended last year, and now it’s Suri’s turn to land the ship with The Lotus Empire, the third and final installment in The Burning Kingdoms trilogy.
