A review by pastelvoid
Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao

adventurous dark emotional inspiring mysterious tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

The single bad thing I have to say about this book is that the epilogue is clearly only there to set up a sequel, a bunch of stuff and plot twists and information comes out within 2 pages and it seems a little forced so that she can set up another book lol
