Holy. Wow. This book was incredible!
I have to admit, it’s not my usual type of book, and I wasn’t sure whether I would actually pick it up or read it, but the growing chorus of raves convinced me. And I’m so glad I did.
This book was incredible. I loved the blend of history, the feet binding was such an interesting addition, one I’ve never seen before.
Shimin and Yizhin were perfect and Zetian was just… so whoa!
I did wish we saw more of the relationship, which was so refreshing and definitely needed more.
I do admit that I am a bit nervous of the direction of the second book, purely because sci fi and aliens really isn’t my thing, but I don’t doubt that I will run to pick it up.
