Ich habe Iron Widow geliebt! Das Buch hat mich aus einem Lese-Loch gezogen, ich konnte es kaum aus der Hand legen. Zetian ist bitter, besessen von Rache und bereit zu tun, was auch immer nötig ist, um an Macht zu kommen. Die Geschichte ist actiongeladen, das Setting faszinierend, die Motive der Figuren moralisch verwerflich. Beim Thema female rage und female empowerment hat mir der Zusammenhalt unter den Flinta-Figuren gefehlt, aber ich denke, das ist Absicht – schliesslich ist Zetian morally more black than gray und hat kein Gefühl für Solidarität. Kann ich sehr empfehlen!

It's just so good!

Okay, so I must confess. This book stood on my shelf for a while. And then I read it and had to get the sequel like immidiately. The story - the whole world is captivating. Zetian - even hotheaded and reckless sometime - is a relatable character I got so frustrated and angry numerous times. The way she was and still constantly is treated - just it was bad, beause is was brutal, but uuhh was it great for the plot. I was diving head first into battles with her and then the book was over! Just like that. I HAD to get the second book now, but fate choose diffrently. Only getting my hands on "Heavenly Tyrant" today, I had to help me out of the hangover that "Iron Widow" left me in and even though I am going to read the sequel like right now, or at least I wan to I have to finish my incredibly good filler. So read "Iron Widow" if you like female rage, strong characters and an absolut amazing story that hooked me as soon as I saw a TikTok of Xiran Jay Zhao the author, about the goddam LOVE TRIANGLE - the strongest geometrical form. Take that scholars and strategists!
