A review by evagachus
Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao

5.0

This book was simply fantastic and one of my favorites of the year. There were a few aspects to the book, the characters and the love "triangle" that differentiated it from other YA fiction novels that I really appreciated. I love that, for once, a book that promised a strong female lead actually delivered on one! Zetian is one bad ass, and her story is nothing short of amazing. I really enjoyed the entanglement of the characters and the world it plunged me into. Reminded me of a cross between Hunger Games, Ender's Game, and a special flare that Xiran Zhao got just... Right!
