An instant #1 New York Times bestseller!
Pacific Rim meets The Handmaid's Tale in this blend of Chinese history and mecha science fiction for YA readers.
The boys of Huaxia dream of pairing up with girls to pilot Chrysalises, giant transforming robots that can battle the mecha aliens that lurk beyond the Great Wall. It doesn't matter that the girls often die from the mental strain.
When 18-year-old Zetian offers herself up as a concubine-pilot, it's to assassinate the ace male pilot responsible for her sister's death. But she gets her vengeance in a way nobody expected she kills him through the psychic link between pilots and emerges from the cockpit unscathed. She is labeled an Iron Widow, a much-feared and much-silenced kind of female pilot who can sacrifice boys to power up Chrysalises instead.
To tame her unnerving yet invaluable mental strength, she is paired up with Li Shimin, the strongest and most controversial male pilot in Huaxia . But now that Zetian has had a taste of power, she will not cower so easily. She will miss no opportunity to leverage their combined might and infamy to survive attempt after attempt on her life, until she can figure out exactly why the pilot system works in its misogynist way and stop more girls from being sacrificed.

Buch (Taschenbuch)
A fast-paced, action-packed sci-fi/fantasy mix with interesting characters, mechas, and a lot of historical Chinese influence
As someone who loves main characters who put themselves first and enjoys morally questionable characters in general I had a lot of fun with this cast. Wu Zetian is no heroine in shining armour – until she literally is (at least the shining armour part) – but her fire, strong will and thirst for vengeance definitely convinced me to stick along. Shimin and Yizhi round out our main trio really well: the three of them could not be more different, especially at first glance, but they do share similar values and end up working together really well. I adore all three of them on their own (even tho Yizhi might just be my favourite) but in my opinion they really shine as a unit. I definitely enjoyed the quick pace for worldbuilding and plot development as we learn more about how this world functions along with Zetian but fans of big, in depth lore-drops and slow build-ups might find Iron Widow a little too fast.
