She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan
2.0

Kinda glad I didn't have time to finish this before my bookclub met/couldn't make it to that meeting cause this book reaaaally didn't do it for me.
I loved part 1 and zoomed through it in a day. The rest didn't resonate with me at all. I think I was the wrong audience for this. I don't really read fantasy anymore and in general don't find war tactics (and frustrations) very interesting to read about. I found myself very distracted while reading so it's possible that I missed the point of the book. I kept trying to get back into it but eventually conceded it jut wasn't for me. Recommended if you're into historical fiction detailing strategies and struggles for power.
