I read this book in 5 hours (aggregate - I slept 8 hours in the middle). I couldn’t put it down. I’ve had it on my kindle since it came out, waiting for me to be done with my degree and actually have free time. Well I’m back, and Zetian was the perfect heroine to welcome me. 

I adore the worldbuilding, I adore the characters, I adore the romances. I wouldn’t change a single word, a single theme, a single plot point. I can’t wait to read the second and third!
