- if you like Pacific Rim
- Alt-history
- Asian, poly & bisexual rep
- alt-world with little background
Skip for:
-YA dystopia cliches
- under developed main character
- a book about patriarchy that barely passes the Bechdel Test & has a 2D female MC who is “not like other other girls” and is blatantly misogynistic
- expositional and tactless conversations

recurring mention/description of the long-term crippling effects of footbinding. the racism/xenophobia is directed at non-han chinese ethnic groups. sexism/misogyny is a lot of the driving force of most of the plot.dandelionsteph's review against another edition
