She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan

adventurous challenging dark tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.25

I feel like I need to read this again immediately to understand the depth of it - which is on me, whenever it comes to conflicts and larger-scale wars I find it hard to grasp everything going on. BUT as it is this is such an interesting exploration of identity and fate and control especially.
