A review by kimushur
Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao

4.0

Ok so this was such a good villain origin story. I really like how relentlessly angry and ruthless Zeitan was. There was such an inevitability to her 'last straw' reaction. You know it's coming, and there's no way to avoid it. It's a result of the things that have happened to her all her life. Also I love the throuple and the simplicity with which their relationship was resolved.
The one thing I didn't like was that I could tell it was YA by the way things were phrased. That's on me for not reading the description properly but it did dampen my experience with the book.
