Empress of the World was a wonderful, heartwarming story about a girl falling in love. The book is told from the perspective of Nicola Lancaster. She spends her summer taking part in the Siegel Institute Summer Program. For the first time in her life Nicola finds true friends. She meets Isaac, Katrina, Kevin - and Battle. They get to know each other during the introduction speech and quickly become good friends. But Nicola discovers she might be falling in love with ... Battle. I thought Nicola had the true voice of a teenager and she was a very likable character. She was funny, sweet, a bit shy and talented. She quickly opens up to her new friends, mostly Isaac and Katrina and of course Battle. When Nicola first realizes that she might be falling in love with Battle ... it's very well done. As a reader you are able to grasp her confusion. I did like Katrina and Isaac very much too while being indifferent to Kevin. Battle. What to say about her? I often found her quite exasperating but I could understand her too, I guess. It was tough to like her sometimes because of her behaviour toward Nicola. All in all I think Empress of the World is a beautiful story about self-discovery, friendship and falling in love. It was a quick read as I managed to finish it in three hours which is another testament to how well and engaging it was written! I have no interest in reading the "sequel" however since it's about Battle.
