Empress Dowager Cixi: The Concubine Who Launched Modern China by Jung Chang

informative medium-paced

3.5

This was very well written and about such a fascinating era of China that is rarely spoken about. I do think the author seemed to idolize Cixi a little bit which made me wonder about how unbiased the narrative was, however it sounds like she's a pretty demonized figure in other works so this may have been a justified overcorrection.
