I very much enjoyed reading this book. I received this book through an Early Reviewers system and I wasn't sure what I'd be reading when I picked this book up.
This book does have strong themes of femanine strength but of also challenging the historical gender roles and norms. While I do like seeing the challenging and fighting of the historical ideology of females being "property", at times the story became too 'woke' for my personal taste.
The writing of this book was smooth and easy to read. I ended up reading this book so fast because the story/plot were very well thought out and kept moving along. I never felt as though it was slow or boring.
Overall, this was a great book and I can't wait to read the next one! ( )Pacific Rim meets Handmaid’s Tale. Seguramenre sea más un 3,5-3,75. Mechas “espirituales” luchando contra seres alienigenas. Mucho de lo que sucede es medio previsible, sobretodo el giro final. Pero no lo hace menos entretenido, es mas, he devorado la novela. Quizá lo que más me ha echado para atrás es alguna de las escenas y referencias a abusos y maltratos, pero ya venia avisado por el content warning a sabiendas que no es algo que me atraiga. Y, por fin, tenemos representación poliamorosa y bisexual llevada con la mayor naturalidad. Me quiero mucho a los tres. Whew, that was.... A Lot!!! Maximally chaotic bisexuals piloting giant robots to fight aliens; somewhat gory. A little explainy about Feelings and Feminism, but not annoyingly so, and I appreciated the way the explanations were used to keep the plot thundering ahead at breakneck pace. The ending was absolutely bananas; I don't even know that it needs the second book, honestly, just leave us with that. This is a great book! It took me about 10 hours to finish the book, but I enjoyed every part of the book! The female main character, Wu Zetian, avenges her sister’s death and tries to improve the lives of girls, who have been sacrificed by men for the battles against the Hunduns, and have been treated unfairly in society. I liked how the main character’s goals changed throughout the book, as she discovers things that were hidden from the public. Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. This book was so, so dark but also glorious. It's strong and angry and righteous, and it made me question a lot of morals and wonder how I would react under similar circumstances. There are no "good" people in this story. There are quite a few "evil" people in this story. There is abuse and aggression and so much pain. And somehow it's still an incredible story that I flew through, and can't wait to read the sequel.
Adding: I did predict the twist, but it didn't lessen my appreciation of the book.keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

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.
