  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot

4.0

A touching elves-and-goblins approach to an imperial court political drama with YA-appropriate amounts of dark and light themes--and just a dash of revolutionary ideology. If you like wholesome protagonists who are too precious for this world then you will love Maia.
