- if you like Pacific Rim
- Alt-history
- Asian, poly & bisexual rep
- alt-world with little background
Skip for:
-YA dystopia cliches
- under developed main character
- a book about patriarchy that barely passes the Bechdel Test & has a 2D female MC who is “not like other other girls” and is blatantly misogynistic
- expositional and tactless conversations

The parallels between the misogynistic reality of Huaxia and the misogynistic history/reality of many societies on Earth are very present. Zetian’s feelings and frustrations were ones I’ve known all too well. A very very interesting character. I’m excited to see where this story goes.
