OMG I seriously really enjoyed this book, the world building, how things work, the characters SO GOOD. I really loved the characters, even though I think that Zetian is low-key going too far sometimes but I still love her. I really liked seeing how Zetian and Shimin bonded and seeing how Shimin slowly started falling for Zetian. I also liked seeing Yizhi and Zetian together like Yizhi is SO sweet!!  The magic(?) system was really well built and unique like DAMN. I really liked that there was Yin and Yang and all the different types and the mechas are so cool. I was so entertained reading this book and the world is literally so interesting. I really liked the build up and introduction of the world and its characters and I will be reading the next book. Also all 3 of them were so badass in the end love love!
