The hints of the ending and how well it sets up Heavenly Tyrant, I can't wait for it to release. It will definitely be a read same day as publication for book 2.
If you haven't picked this up yet or are only thinking about it, don't think anymore and just read! Both the book and Xiran J y Zhao are deserving of a HUGO award and so much more.

Men wants us so badly for our bodies, yet hate us so much for our minds.
I liked Zetian's character, or at least understood her. She is a true free spirit, full of energy and revenge with which she can burn the universe. And there is my Shimin who is in my whole heart, he deserves so much, so much better. I love their relationship so much, i'm so sorry we got so little of them.
The plot was confusing for me and couldn't hold my attention seriously, the pace was a bit fast, but i liked the references to mythology.
