Wow this was a rollercoaster. The ending of the first novel had me in shambles and this one didn't do anything to put me back together.

Zetian comes a long way to actually get shit done while political turmoil seems to crumble the revolution. The intrigue and rogueness of the new political order are portrayed so good, and as I kinda got to like
Qin Zheng
more and more, the ending shocked me a bit, but was on par with Zetian feeling conflicted. 
Towards the end a lot of things happen, which felt a bit rushed. 

Very much looking forward for the third book!
