tayat99 's review for:
Iron Widow
by Xiran Jay Zhao
This is the most frustrating and bland book I’ve ever read. There is no depth to these characters and to this universe. I have no idea how it got to 400 pages when the author summarizes giant swathes of plot in 5 sentences. I couldn’t immerse myself in this world because the author moves on to something else in a paragraph. There is no time spent developing these characters, these relationships, or this world. They are telling us how to feel instead of leading us to it.
The connections between these characters felt cringy and unrealistic. The main character is a hypocrite and a narcissist. She is also insanely cringy.
Can you tell I am very frustrated after reading this book? I was excited for it, but it has literally no depth and reads like an 8th grader wrote it.
