Read the full take

A kingdom is stained with blood when a plot to usurp the throne succeeds. The queen who once devoted herself to the new king is betrayed and murdered by her own sister. Then she is sent back in time to her seventeen-year-old self. The premise is a grim regression revenge drama set in a palace of intrigue.The strongest element is the motive. Her betrayal gives the story a clear, personal drive, and the palace politics offer constant tension. Full colour and the courtly setting give the drama a rich look.The weakness is familiarity. Regression-revenge plots follow well-worn patterns, and the court politics can feel convoluted. Some characters are more tools for the plot than people.If you enjoy palace drama with a regression revenge arc, it is a compelling pick. It is harsh and dramatic. Expect cold scheming, a second chance at a throne and a heroine who knows exactly who to watch.
