Another stand out hit

Revisado: 01-21-25

While there were some moments my heart ached for Wu Zetian to find some flicker of peace, this book delivered and THEN SOME. I can’t wait for the next book, this is truly an epic for the ages.

Stunning Futuristic Fantasy

Revisado: 09-18-23

Xiran Jay Zhao has knocked it out of the park with this epic fantasy tale.
A charming mix of battle, societal navigation, and intrigue- Iron Widow drags the reader into its world in moments. Zhao tackles age old social justice issues and patriarchal systems so seamlessly- and captures feminine rage in a way that has you cheering as the FMC meets or her revenge. I cannot wait for Heavenly Tyrant.

One of my top reads this year

Revisado: 08-07-23

This book blew me away. I loved this book in ways I can’t even express! The magic/scientific system is truly inspired, the journey Anequs takes through these pages is both terrible and wonderful, and the discoveries!!!!! made about her people’s relationship to dragons! Aaah. I wanted to cheer in the middle of the gym. Kasaqua and Coppers interactions are adorable and endearing, and I cannot wait to see what develops with Theod and Liberty and Anequs. The in depth look into the perspective of the indigenous peoples within the book will make you cry and rage, and I won’t lie and say there’s not some small part of me that wishes they could all join with their cousins in the West and take back their freedoms. The relationships between Anequs and her family are so rich and well done I found myself loving them as much as I did characters who had much more page time. Overall, Moniquill Blackgoose had done a remarkable job of weaving a tale I want to read again and again, and will be anxiously awaiting the second installment of!

I am in love with this book! I’m always on board for a strong FMC but Ligia has taken the woman in charge to the next level! From our FMC to the Mosa- the amount of powerful feminine energy in this book is off the charts and I am HERE FOR IT. The story is amazing, well crafted, and the plot twists!!! Ooooh if I don’t get book two soon I’m gonna cry.

Very cute

Revisado: 03-21-23

I really enjoyed this story and the representation was perfection. It was cute without pandering, the women were truly feminists who did not compromise- even for love- FINALLY. I loved that trope getting flipped on its head!

What a book!

Revisado: 03-03-23

I’ll need to sit with this book hangover for a bit. Kuang is a phenomenal story teller who brought this world to vibrant, beautiful life and I loved every second of it. Even the ones I hated. The universal truths in this novel are heartbreaking and stripped bare for the reader, which is dramatic and necessary to the story. This should be required reading for advanced students in my humble opinion. Fiction can be such a wonderful receptacle for truth.

Enjoyable

Revisado: 01-24-23

The narrator was a bit……off. When the dialogue tag says “with no emotion” to a line she just filled with it, or “with such sadness” and she delivers it vehemently….it was frustrating. Not horrid but. Definitely noticeable.
