📚Quotable Moment
●" Biologic sex has all sorts of variation in nature."
●"Female. That label has never done anything for me except dictate what I can or cannot do..."
●"I am the force that quakes the earth."
●"When you cherish someone for how amazing they are, you don't pluck them from their roots just to watch them wither in your hands. You help them bloom into the incredible thing they're really meant to be."
📚My Review
I first noticed this book last year and multiple instagramers I follow raving about this book. However, I was hestiant to jump in as I've learned my lesson the hard way with over hype instagram books. However, there are some whom I follow who definitely have the " radar" for good books--- @ash_and_her_books
I buddy read this book with @aquavenatus
Let me say, this book lives up to the hype! The protagonists Zetian is that BISH you hear me 🗣. She played no games about her vendatta against this Human Liberation Army and what it does to young girls and women. WOmen are known as
" concubine pilots" their Qi is used to power these gigantic ( transformers like) Chrysalis objects that fight their enemies Hundus.
The author does a radical job in creating this world, The love triangle, the monsters, and the spirit power--- gave futuristic Avatar aang vibe!
The flow of the story is paced so well🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾.
Furthermore Zetian anger is potent and pungent-- brimstone and fire. She came in with agenda and delivered-- Period! Her relationship with crazy Shimin is balanced and unhinged💜. You add in Yizhi, who low key gives me the whole (Tuxedo Mask vibe too-- swoon) you get the perfect sandwich of angsty, love, and yearning.
I love the Ying & Yang elements, Chinese Mythology of the hunduns " Legendary Faceless Being", and learning about the horrors of foot binding.
This is the first book this year ive rated a 5✨️ stars before completion because it is that good!
