I saw someone else describe this as a "male power fantasy but for women." I agree. Mc is violent, vengeful, fueled by rage, and all about making her enemies eat curb. Iron Widow shares a similar lack of subtlety, character development, and a focus on anything outside the main character destroying everyone who wronged her. If that's something you want to read, you'll enjoy it.
