I with always root for feminine rage so Zetian was someone who was easy to get behind. I really appreciated how her initial mission was over so quickly & so much of the book was her constantly pivoting & honestly going a little power mad.
The relationship development was so amusing to me because as a reader it was fairly obvious where it was heading but the characters are so oblivious.
I couldn’t answer a single question you asked me about the chrysalises or the war; but the vibes were excellent!! I look forward to the sequel & the author’s inevitable book about the French Revolution.
This book majorly gave the hunger games for me despite them being so different
