Iron Widow (Iron Widow, #1)

Zetian is 18 years old and is joining the army as a concubine-pilot. She is seeking revenge for the death of her older sister. When she is presented to her first Chrysalis pilot, Yang Guang, she kills him using her mind during the flight thus giving her the name of Iron Widow. She is then assigned to the Iron Demon in hopes he will kill her, but her strength keeps her alive and proves she is his equal. Now the army leaders need to find a way to control her.

The book is fast paced, the characters are well developed, and it is written in first person point of view. I loved the fierceness of Zetian. She knows what she wants and is not afraid to get it. She wants women to be recognized for their worth. She fights for women’s rights and equality. Who doesn’t want that? I likely recommend this book to anyone that likes the Handmaids Tale.
