Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao
5.0
Zetian is best, and I adore her!
In a darker version of Pacific Rim, mechas that try to defeat the terrible aliens need a teen boy pilot and a teen girl concubine-pilot whose essence gets sucked dry during battle. Zetian succeeds in killing the pilot who killed her older sister, and she becomes known as the Iron Widow. As a result, she gets paired with known criminal and most powerful mecha pilot, Li Shimin. Little does she know that her childhood love, Gao Yizhi, gets involved too.
This! Is! So! Great! Highest of recommendations!
