Book 2 Zetian is out of her element as a leader when all of her goals for the revolution/women’s rights were previously centered on her own desires. good dialogue here about choice while broadening her scope to class rights etc.

The ending is so crazy. I think there may have been too much, we were doing alot with the “romance”, deception, politics, battles, mind realms… it was engaging but when I got to “the gods” …it seemed to go a bit far.
