Kattas reviewed Heavenly Tyrant by Xiran Jay Zhao (Iron Widow, #2)
What even is this?
5 stars
I don't know how to review this book, other than to say that it made an impact and I love all of the things it is doing. It is on some level a YA fantasy romance, on another level it's absolutely a serious book for adults about power dynamics in relationships, and then there's the part where it's a beautiful and compelling exploration of political issues and relationships on a national level, unpacking all of the problems with power and wealth and how to revolutionize or revolt against those systems.
