Heavenly Tyrant by Xiran Jay Zhao
2.5
dark inspiring reflective tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

I enjoyed the story, not as much as Iron Widow, probably bc it had less action. I feel like a large portion of the book is unnecessary, though great commentary on social/political issues that reflect today's world. There was plenty of buildup towards the ending, but I feel like
the whole part in the heavens was very rushed. I wish there was more to that, rather than the repetition of political speeches back on earth.
