One of my favorite webtoons! I’m so excited for this to be published. It’s such an interesting story and the mystery is gripping.

Great characters, beautiful illustrations…there’s nothing not to love!

I highly recommend this one. I have already planned to request its purchase for our library.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an arc in exchange for this review.

Apologies for my delay, I’ve had a very hectic few months.

This was pretty fun!

3 ⭐️

the webtoon deserves a 4 stars but the book that was produced is a 2 💔

I loved the series when I read it on webtoon. ‘Your Throne’ is centered around two very strong but flawed female leads (whom are polar opposites), that grow and survive in a kingdom full of corruption. This is a historical fantasy series that is heavy on character development and court intrigue. When I received an arc on Netgallery, I was excited because who doesn’t love having a physical copy of a series they enjoy?

I wanted to know how it differed from the webtoon I’ve already experienced reading, and so I read both of them along side each other. The publisher corrected some spelling errors and replaced some words here and there but it wasn’t too noticeable. They changed the font for onomatopoeias and dialogues which I wasn’t a fan of but I understand that the text had to be bolder to accommodate for all the art thats laid out on paper. What I didn’t like was how the panels were awkwardly placed and they cropped so many of the images. I get that it is pretty hard to format a manhwa that was originally for the web into book format but still. If one of the panels needed to be cropped, it could have been done in a way that’s more appealing to the eye. If you study photography or filmography, they teach you something about ratio of a picture which could have been incorporated when rearranging the manhwa panels. But instead, most panels were oddly cropped and sometimes there’s so much negative space around the images or they would pile the panels on top of each other so there’s too much going on.

I did enjoy the artwork that can only be found in the book though. The artist revised some of the panels. I was happy to find scenes where they were just quick sketch-like panels but it was replaced with a more detailed/dramatic looking scene. It was beautiful!

Overall, I love the story but not so much the execution of the book. Not a fan.

If you want the whole experience of the manhwa, support SAM by reading and giving it a like on the webtoon app. If you don’t mind the odd arrangements or parts of scenes that may have not made the cut, support SAM by buying the book.

Thank you Netgallery and Wattpad Webtoon Studios for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

3.5 ⭐️ The illustrations in this graphic novel were awesome. I love the FMC and how cutthroat she is, she is full of spite! I think the story starts off well and I love the gore and her desire for vengeance. I did enjoy the trope but I almost wish when the body-switch happened, the eyes of each character would’ve been kept the same or something just to help the reader keep track of the story better. With time jumps, it did get a bit confusing at times. I don’t think I will personally have this on the top of my list to continue with future volumes, but I did really enjoy this and finished it in one sitting!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this digital copy in exchange for an honest review.

Your Throne was a wild ride and I absolutely loved it. My heart was in my throat the whole time. Mysteries and plot twists will undoubtedly make this appealing to many. The cover might be misconstrued as a middle grade graphic novel but I recommend definitely moving it to YA in the library.

Vengeance. Queen Competitions. House of Solon. Lady Medea. The Vasilios Empire.


This manhwa is dark and grueling, full of assassination attempts and court politics. There are princes and guards and scapegoats for murders.

The Vasilios Empire is ruled by the Imperial Family and the Temple. Lady Media has just won the competition to become the next Empress, standing tall next to Prince Eros. Except, a murder occurs, and the blame is placed upon her shoulders.

Now, the Prince is allowed to choose Psyche, the golden opposite of Madea's dark aesthetic. The story seems black and white: Lady Media Solon is the villain, and the blonde sweet Psyche is the hero of the story next to her handsome prince.

Then, it gets significantly more interesting. The reader, at least I can say, I began rooting for the 'villainess'. Lady Medea Solon is a genius at chess, and her game of strategy is so unreserved and unforgiving. She is vicious and judicial.

She was meant to be the Crown Princess, and she will be.

Apart from the Queen and King, Prince Eros is the most powerful figure in this fantasy world. He simply falls in love with another girl, though Lady Medea has proven the better royal, and rightfully won her place. Who cares, if the crown prince can snap his fingers and make someone else his, regardless of losing the competition.

Jealousy overtakes Lady Medea, so much so that she makes a wish that she could be Psyche. To be the one that the crown prince chose, the one who became the Crown Princess anyway. The two then swap bodies. The friendship and dynamic between the opposing girls is so volatile, yet companionable. They work together. They scheme together. Such a unique spin to the usual "villainess" arc in romance manhwas. 🌟🌟🌟🌟/5 Stars!

So Vol 1 ended on a cliffhanger…AHHHHHH.

I’ve tried to read this manhwa in the past but just couldn’t get into it but I think that’s changed now!! I really enjoyed vol 1, though there’s SO MUCH backstory we need to get!! I cannot wait for Vol 2 because there is so much happening. I need to know more about the curse/switch!

At first I thought Your Throne was going to follow the same plot as so many other transmigration webtoons and graphic novels that I've seen, but immediately it pulled my interest by setting itself apart from the others. Medea is truly an Anti-hero, cruel and vicious, she's willing to do whatever it takes to get what she wants, no matter the morality of the action. In fact, in the beginning I truly thought she was going to be the villain, but later some of her actions were shown in a different light. I also felt at first that Psyche was going to be her narrative foil, but once the body swapping (plural) started happening, all of my assumptions flew out the window. I will say that this unexpected plot is what drew me in the most. I feel like I'm still getting to know the characters, and I hope to continue getting to know the characters in the sequel.

This so far seems like a good story. The art is beautiful. I am excited to continue this series! The characters seem interesting and I can't wait to see what way this story goes.

The style of art is very pretty but I wasn’t sold on the plot. I couldn’t get invested in the FMCs. Actually I couldn’t tell if there were one or two main female characters. It still would be interesting to see where the rest of this series goes.

Revenge and evil-queen-vibes sink into an unexpected game, where everyone plays their own strategy while unknowingly taking the role of someone else's pawn.

Medea should have been queen but lost her place when the prince chose the other girl instead. Now, she's out for revenge, but before she can take it, the craziest thing happens, and she wakes up to find herself in her rival's body. While she quickly regains her footing and has all intentions to continue with her initial goal, her new and different perspective of the situation reveals a much more complicated scheme. What started as a simple plan to destroy one person has warped into a battle to save the entire kingdom.

I went into this hoping for a darker, cliche story, which would offer a bit of fun...my expectations weren't high. But this gives quite a bit more and promises to lead into an exciting series of intrigue and many hidden agendas. The beginning shows Medea in a terrible light as a vengeful young woman, who embodies the villain. It made her very hard to like or connect with, especially when juxtaposed with the angelic rival. During the first pages, I did wonder if I'd made a bad grab. Also, not much time is spent sinking into the situation or world, leaving a bit of confusion especially since Medea's hate seems very unfounded. But this ill-balanced beginning does end up setting off the tale better than first appears.

While this starts with an overly cliche atmosphere, the twists and turns flip everything on its head to create an original and grabbing read. There is a lot of room for character growth, and even in this first volume, that arc comes across well. To say that there's quite a bit going on is an understatement, and that guarantees quick pacing throughout. With all of the webbed intentions, this could quickly grow confusing but flashbacks root the background and keep things from flying out of control. Normally, I'm not a huge fan of such back-and-forth, but it works well because the reader gets hit with a truckload of information in this first volume. While it seems to border on confusing at times, it manages not to go too far, but instead, sets the base for so much more to come during the upcoming volumes.

The art style fits the story. The color tones match the atmosphere and subtly portray each 'queen' in a way, which supports how the reader is supposed to see them at that moment. The visual changes match the plot and balance well with the text.

I am looking forward to the next volume, especially since this beginning has laid such an intricate base. There are more than a few questions as to the intent and goals of several characters, and it will be exciting to see where this all might lead.

Your Throne is cutthroat. It dives deep into the worlds of politics and power while examining Medea and Psyche and how they are connected.

The art style is beautiful and the colouring is captivating. There is a lot of growth and transformation between the two leading ladies while they navigate a freaky Friday-type situation except the stakes are much higher. The relationships are intriguing not just between Medea and Psyche but also between them and Eros as well as Helio.

The story has a lot of potential to get messy (in a good way) and creates a lot of anticipation for what will happen next! your Throne is a real page-turner!

Though I really enjoyed the art style I found the story to be rather confusing the vast majority of the time. I'm a little confused about Psyche's backstory. Medea's was a little easier to follow. The body switch-a-roo is so over done and I don't really think this was deployed in a creative way.

This was such a fun read! Thank you so much wattpadd books!

The fmc in the book my favorite part. She was strong and a tad unhinged. It made reading delightful.

The only thing I didn’t love was the fact the book had the switching bodies trope. I still liked it but I didn’t love it.

I will be continuing this series!

I am a longtime reader of Your Throne on the LINE app, so it was invigorating and refreshing to go back to the beginning. Our queen Medea is of course amazing right from the get-go, but don't write off anyone else in the main cast either because this character-driven story of political intrigue and body switching will have you constantly guessing at everyone's motives, past, and schemes. But this is another story in that category of "main characters who refuse to deal with anymore bs and have the wits and ruthlessness to take what they rightfully deserve"

Thank you Netgalley for sending me a review copy.

Overall I would say this is an interesting start to a webtoon. I've read tons of Webtoons and this one is different and unique. My main issue is not liking any of the main characters, but this is a strong start to a story that could have some good character development.

Possible Triggers:
Death | Mild Gore | Physical Abuse

Final Thoughts:
What a beautifully illustrated comic!!! I was pleasantly surprised to realize that the story was not how I expected it to go at all. I was thinking of dainty princesses and romance and instead I got political intrigue, (one-sided?) rivalry, and darker themes. Kinda called to mind Tricia Levenseller’s “The Shadows Between Us”. This volume ended on a cliffhanger that has me very keen to read the next volume of the series. A++ for a strong, determined, VENGEFUL main character.

This is volume one of the series and it absolutely love this one. Right from the chapter one it kept me hooked till the end of the book. The plotline and illustrations are so beautiful that it had my attention for the full time.
The plot was well paced. I absolutely love it. I am looking forward to the next upcoming volumes in this series.

Your Throne is an incredible WEBTOON. I followed it from its conception and immediately fell in love with the mythic Medea turned power hungry protagonist. Her arc throughout the entire series is one of the best, as she learns there is more to life than her family’s approval and esteem. She and Pysche are an amazing duo, the characters in this text are complex, believable, deep, emotional, and sympathetic. There is so much action and drama and humor and growth. One of the best graphic novels I’ve read.

Your Throne follows Medea and Psyche after they switch bodies and have to learn how to live in the others shoes.

I can’t start this review without talking about Medea!!! She is so cool. I love her already. She is strong, beautiful, manipulative, and a little unhinged. Honestly, the darkness her character has is part of why I really like her. It’s refreshing to read about a “villainess” character that actually does bad things. Her character is so interesting. She is extremely jealous of Psyche due to the Crown Prince, Eros, supposedly being “in love” with Psyche. It seems much darker than that though.

Psyche is basically the complete opposite of Medea. While also beautiful, she is weak, gentle, and kind. This first volume hasn’t shown a ton of her backstory, however some of the hints we have gotten have seemed a little scary. Psyche is interesting as well, but I don’t think I’ve seen enough of her in this first volume to really have a good grasp of her. She does seem to really care for Medea though which is intriguing.

Psyche and Medea’s relationship is interesting. There were hints at a previous friendship between the two, which could explain Medea’s hatred of Psyche because of her “betrayal.”

I don’t really love the whole “switching bodies” trope, but it does make for an interesting storyline and I do think that it will be really interesting for Medea to learn what Psyche actually goes through. The first half of the book didn’t really grab my attention, but by the end I was hooked. I’m so curious to see where this story will go. I’m hoping for Medea and Psyche to come together, but we will see.

Overall, the story is pretty dark. There is a lot of manipulation and some physical violence, however it fits the theme so well. There are also the obvious references to Greek mythology which is very interesting. Admittedly, I don’t know a ton about the original stories, but that doesn’t seem to matter so far.

Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this early!
