This was such a good female rage read, and I loved that the FMC was straight up evil and made the worst possible choices at every turn, but damn did she do a lot of internal monologuing. I thought that the Iron Triangle was sweet and the world building was fun, and I can’t wait to see Wu Zetian be an even worse person in the next book!!
