In case you haven’t heard, I’ve created another booklr! "The Twelve Kingdoms” is a wonderful series woefully unknown on tumblr. I will be making posts and edits for the series as I read through it!
Normal high-schooler Yoko is whisked away to another world by Keiki, a mysterious man who claims she is the heir to the kingdom of Kei. Separated from Keiki by an enemy ruler, she is left only with a magical sword, a gem, and questions about her destiny as she struggles to survive the fight for a throne she never knew was hers.
Here are some AWESOME reasons for you to check out “The Twelve Kingdoms: Sea of Shadow”!!!
- Incredible world building
- Amazing story
- Character development!!
- Finding your voice and standing for what’s right no matter who you are or where you come from.
- Accepting your faults and doing what you can to overcome.
- Motherfucking Enki
- Sassy brat
- Motherfucking Shoryu
- Sassy asshole
- Greatest and most well-respected King in all of the Twelve Kingdoms
- Chills in brothels just ‘cause
- Basically a toned-down Helion?
- PHENOMENAL Ace representation
- Like seriously- ¾ of the characters are ace
- Maybe Aro too
- No romantic lead
- Seriously, none
- The main girl finds herself and grows stronger because of her friends, not because of a guy.
- She learns to love and respect herself, and only then does she succeed.
- Rakushun, the bi-species man-mouse.
- Giant ball of fluff and sunshine
- Also willing to call out bullshit and lay down some wisdom
I cannot recommend this book harder!! Maasdom fans will LOVE it!!!
There is also a show covering the first 3 books (mostly faithfully) if you don’t have time to read. The show is going back into production now that the series has ended.
I’ll be reading it this summer, hopefully!
