This book, much like the first one, had me working to dissect my own emotions and beliefs as I read it. I think it built phenomenally from the first, exploring what the price and definition of freedom is as an individual and as a nation. I think its exploration of intersectional experiences in a society with deeply rooted evils was very rich. But I think the central relationship in the book takes the cake as the most interesting part of the book. The fact that it takes you on a journey that ends with you as a reader as conflicted as the protagonist about how to handle it at the end of the book is testament to what an accomplishment this story is.

Our favorite Angry Asian Girl becomes Empress. Now what?
There was definitely not political intrigue than Pacific Rim action in this one, but it still held me captive.

Epic ending, I loved the main characters' complicated relationships - a complexity that was consistent through to the end of the book and took them to places that a typical story would probably simplify and undercut for a neatly tied up ending.
this is such a big change from the first book and so far not in a way i enjoy. maybe i'll pick it up again at another time, but being over 100 pages in and not enjoying it is detering me from finishing
