Although there are losses along the way, Queen of Ruin shows how empowering women will build up a society.

I was intrigued by the first book and ended up loving the second! ![]() Picking up seconds after Grace and Fury ended, Queen of Ruin dives back into the dual perspectives of sisters Serina and Nomi as they struggle to find their place (and fight for their lives) in a society where women are little more than property. ![]() We are back on Mount Ruin and it is not looking good. ![]()

Now, after checking that out and showering yourself with all that new information, the next step is to pick a variety of manga you want to try. Do you want to read shounen, shoujo, josei, or seinen? If you’re unfamiliar with these terms or you’re a beginner in the manga world, we highly recommend checking out this beginner’s guide to manga first. The first question that can come to mind is “Where should I start reading?” You look at everything out there and so many options appear before you. It can be overwhelming when you want to read, or start reading, manga. But when it comes to dipping your toes into a new genre or format, I can understand if it suddenly becomes too much for you. Because then, you only have to go into your TBR shelf and choose something that calls to you. When choosing something to read, it’s easier if you’re familiar the genre, or format, already. ![]() |
