one downside of ebooks is that sometimes when I read them on my phone I try to click through the table of contents and zip to the middle of the book instead.
just started Iron Widow and was like "wow this book really starts in media res, I have no clue what's going on but I'm into the giant mecha fight" and then turned the page to the next chapter.... which was Chapter 44.
so. back to the beginning we go.

Ok I thought the whole book would revolve around Zetian plotting her revenge and finally having this moment happening by the end. Well guess I'm very wrong since it already happened lmao. Might be a bit too fast for me to really enjoy it as much as I should, because I'm not that familiar with her yet. Like I get where she's coming through but you know how waiting make everything more valuable? I've been spoiled too soon.
I guess it's gonna be more about the aftermath and the consequences of one's actions then. I feel like she has the potential to be a very morally dark grey protagonist so I'm really curious of how everything's gonna turn out now.
I kinda love the Pacific Rim vibes but make it rotten patriarchy vibes though. Apparently the society, instead of making sure to have drift compatible pairs, went "what if we sacrificed the women instead? Uh uh" and everyone agreed. I can't wait to see Zetian crush down the patriarchy. Also I'm pretty sure they already said a well balanced pair is possible and there are already a few existing. So what if they made that as their whole new system? Mind you seeing how it started there's a whole lot of work to accomplish. It's understandable why the revenge plot is so short after all. She's got a lot of work to do.
#iron widow#that's what you get jumping from a weird slow 200 pages book to a 600 pages one where shit happens very quick lmao#not sure about the exact number of pages#I've zoomed the text on my reader and now it says 752 pages lmaao

Final thoughts on iron widow are that it is very fun to watch someone break stuff for a couple hundred pages but that it was pretty overhyped as anything beyond that. If it wasn't marketed as this groundbreaking feminist ThingTM I would have liked it more I think bcos politically it's a bit incoherent besides being very firm that girl power Is Good and sacrificing girls to be car batteries for mechs is Bad. Boo the patriarchy. Did Wu Zetian effectively utilize girl power when she slaughtered innocent people in her big dragon suit? etc
#iron widow#GOD sometimes the character would basically directly look into the camera and State Her Progressive political Views#which is so fucking tiresome like! even though they are values that I share!#if you have to directly tell people what your book's political message is your book isn't conveying that message well enough...#the story should tell us#anyway I saw a review of iron widow saying#'I think this book was too edgy for me'#and I see their point but disagree. most of this book was a bit meh but as a wild ride through shit#I would have found super badass at 15. it was a fun time.#very predictable twist at the end but that's fine#at least that means it was set up properly lmao#it's alive!#I can't believe THIS is the book I finally finished after being in a reading drought for so long.#it was a page turner tho. so

ok but what if i get over my green bone saga hangover by immediately starting a reread from book 1
#*t#what if i just stay in denial for the rest of eternity#anyway remember how i wouldn't shut the fuck up about iron widow and some of y'all took me up on that recommendation?#begging u on my knees: read fonda lee's green bone saga#jade city is the first book <333#this series has rewired my brain in terms of understanding what writing can accomplish when u TRULY love what ur writing#like. fuck. what a goddamn triumph.#how the fuck am i supposed to read anything after this lmao#ANYWAY the green bone saga pitch is:#The Godfather + martial arts + jade-based magic + asian-centric world/characters

It's like I stop MaDDing once I read a good book
#One that I'm reading right now is#Iron Widow#xiran jay zhao#Absolute banger of a book#Currently on the third part#I'll be so honest#Iron Widow's a bad example tbh#Bc I keep MaDDing when I'm reading it#And I'm MaDDing the hypest soundtrack to ever be produced when I'm reading it#And collaborations with Yu Peng Chen too lmao

pour one out for Yizhi who not only got his last name changed to be made related to someone not even from the same dynasty, but also had to probably absorb his brother to make room for a lover that his gf wasn't even canonically married to
#i read iron widow#yeah Wu Zetian was ever “only” Li Shimin's concubine iirc??#she married his son#yeah when I learned of that I was like “what is the Greek god-esque family tree lmao”#kinda speaks to the age gap acceptable for concubines tbh maybe

i have read 4 entire novels in the last month and thats wild to me, given that prior to this the last novel i read was Mort back in February 2020? i have no idea what the fuck is happening
#whats HAPPENING is that i have made horatio hornblower a core part of my personality and have Fucking Snapped#(that said the first novel was Iron Widow because i made myself a bargain that i couldnt borrow the hornblower books#until i finished IW because i bought it for my holiday last year and read like.... not a lot of it lol)#and now ive read Mr Midshipman. Lieutenant. and The Hotspur.#next up is During the Crisis and then The Atropos#any books after that will surely run into the fact ill be back at uni and also having to be read as ebooks#when i much MUCH prefer physical books for this. so after atropos i might Drop the Fuck Off#though i also made no promises about reading the latter two since they werent adapted for the series#so i have no like. familiarity. ykwim#a good half of this has been interest about how the books were adapted lmao
