I am absolutely in shock with this book. THE ENDING?! I am unable to wait for the second book. I need it now.

Zetian is the perfect morally-grey-badass protagonist. I am in absolute awe of her.
Also the romance in this book, even with it being a sub-plot, was so intricate and refreshing that I was 100% obsessed.

If you like Pacific Rim, read this book.
If you like Attack on Titans, read this book.
If you are a woman, read this book.
If you like masterpieces, read this book. 

I will forever recommend this book to everyone I like.
