A review by fynnsternis
Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao
4.5
I havent been glued like this to a book in a while. The plot really pulled me along for most of the book, save for the media plot, that one I found a bit exhausting.
Zetian is certainly a unique protagonist, turning several cliches on its head, and I really like the romance plot.
I don't know what to make of the ending. I thought for a while that villain protagonist is a bit overexaggerated but with the ending I guess she very much is exactly that. I'm curious how the author will make us root for her in book 2 because at the end she did lose some sympathy from me.
