Brilliant! I highlighted so many profound quotes. Here are my favorites; not really spoilers but covered in case:
"Redemption story, they said?
There will be no redemption. It is not me who is wrong. It’s everyone else."
"Men want us so badly for our bodies, yet hate us so much for our minds."
"My body is mine and mine alone. I have chosen to use it for murder and vengeance."
You can tell how the author worked through trauma in the development of the FMC.

i started rereading this for the next book but i dnf lol its not good :/
I have a lot of mixed feelings and this was certainly a rollercoaster!
I couldn't help comparing it to the Hunger Games a little bit only in that when Katniss makes her grand gestures, they generally are in service to people she cares about she grows to care about more as the books go on. There's a repeated motif of Zetian doing it for the greater good for women which while definitely admirable, made it harder to connect with her. I liked her more personal moments instead of the more grand concepts the book leant towards. Idk! Maybe I'll edit this when I've had more time to sit with it
