Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao
4.0
loved the characters, the dynamics, everything
i didn't really get what exactly the hunduns were. i don't even remember there being a physical description for them. also the emperor stuff i didn't really get. maybe that's my fault, or maybe it wasn't written clearly enough.
still, the epilogue, though rushed, sets itself up so that you want to read the sequel and it seems the next books would be more interesting
also this is like a much watered down version of the poppy war
