This was a ride from start to finish. A heck of a first novel. I love that Wu Zetian doesn’t have to be good, she doesn’t take the traditional ‘to do good things you must be good all the time’ bs route. She manages to make her own way against everything telling her otherwise. Solid book, would recommend.
