Men wants us so badly for our bodies, yet hate us so much for our minds.

I know how bad a negative review can be, so i try to be gentle because it definitely wasn't my book.

I liked Zetian's character, or at least understood her. She is a true free spirit, full of energy and revenge with which she can burn the universe. And there is my Shimin who is in my whole heart, he deserves so much, so much better. I love their relationship so much, i'm so sorry we got so little of them.

The plot was confusing for me and couldn't hold my attention seriously, the pace was a bit fast, but i liked the references to mythology.
