beanie5001 's review for:
Heavenly Tyrant
by Xiran Jay Zhao
i'm so confused
This book has very little of what made the first one entertaining, which was the relationship between Shimin, Yizhi and Zetian.
And I’m confused about the political messaging of this series now. It’s very “main character is from underclass in oppressive society and girlbosses her way into existing power structures and decides they actually benefit her but makes vague promises to not dismantle them, but maybe make them nicer”
