Iron Widow

I have mixed feelings about this book. The plot and premise is interesting, I love that Zetian doesn't stray from her path of vengeance, and it's a quick read. I also appreciated the true love triangle (not like most love Vs out there) and random jabs of humor from Shimin and Zetian. I didn't like the writing style or the oversimplified character development. It all felt very face value and lacked the complexity and depth that I look for in books.

I'll keep reading the series to see what happens next, but I'm in no rush.
