Take evangelion, throw it in a blender with early imperial China, add in a dash of polyamorous boy kissing and a lot of feminine rage for seasoning, and you've got Iron Widow. Darker than I would have expected for YA. A vivid, snappy read that left me hungry for both a sequel and more queer representation.
