Story
Zachary Ying never had many opportunities to learn about his Chinese heritage. His single mom was busy enough making sure they got by, and his schools never taught anything except Western history and myths. So Zack is woefully unprepared when he discovers he was born to host the spirit of the First Emperor of China for a vital mission: sealing the leaking portal to the Chinese underworld before the upcoming Ghost Month blows it wide open.

Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

Story
Worn out after decades of packing steel and raising hell, Viv, the orc barbarian, cashes out of the warrior’s life with one final score. A forgotten legend, a fabled artifact, and an unreasonable amount of hope lead her to the streets of Thune, where she plans to open the first coffee shop the city has ever seen. However, her dreams of a fresh start filling mugs instead of swinging swords are hardly a sure bet. Old frenemies and Thune’s shady underbelly may just upset her plans. To build something that will last, Viv will need some new partners, and a different kind of resolve.

Tamsyn Muir’s Gideon the Ninth unveils a solar system of swordplay, cut-throat politics, and lesbian necromancers. Her characters leap out of the audio, as skillfully animated as arcane revenants. The result is a heart-pounding epic science fantasy. Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse.

But when cornered by monsters born from the destruction, Benji is rescued by a group of teens from the local Acheson LGBTQ+ Center, affectionately known as the ALC. The ALC’s leader, Nick, is gorgeous, autistic, and a deadly shot, and he knows Benji’s darkest secret.

Publisher's summary
2021 GoodReads Choice Award
2021 Nebula Award
An instant number one New York Times best seller!
Pacific Rim meets The Handmaid's Tale in this blend of Chinese history and mecha science fiction for YA listeners.
The boys of Huaxia dream of pairing up with girls to pilot Chrysalises, giant transforming robots that can battle the mecha aliens that lurk beyond the Great Wall. It doesn't matter that the girls often die from the mental strain.
When 18-year-old Zetian offers herself up as a concubine-pilot, it's to assassinate the ace male pilot responsible for her sister's death. But she gets her vengeance in a way nobody expected - she kills him through the psychic link between pilots and emerges from the cockpit unscathed. She is labeled an Iron Widow, a much-feared and much-silenced kind of female pilot who can sacrifice boys to power up Chrysalises instead.
To tame her unnerving yet invaluable mental strength, she is paired up with Li Shimin, the strongest and most controversial male pilot in Huaxia. But now that Zetian has had a taste of power, she will not cower so easily. She will miss no opportunity to leverage their combined might and infamy to survive attempt after attempt on her life, until she can figure out exactly why the pilot system works in its misogynist way - and stop more girls from being sacrificed.

Fantastic
I first found this author on YouTube and have been following every single video on Xiran Jay Zhao’s channel. I have to say I was looking forward to this book and my expectations were blown out of the water. Amazing work. Hoping there is a sequel coming.

Tiktok Recommended Author Delivered
narrator was awesome, triangles are the strongest shape. women can be proactive, powerful, and still have a healthy range of emotions. the blend of reality and fiction was hypnotic. wish more authors took this approach.

So Fucking Amazing 10/10
the plot is amazing, the romance is so good it made me cry and tender and aching in my heart, the twists and politics and descriptions are just *chef kiss*. I striaght up listened to it instead of sleeping all night and couldnt go to sleep until I finished it (took me two nights).
for your own good, read this masterpiece. cant wait for the sequal.

good book after prologue
I was seriously not going to continue this book after the prologue, which in my opinion was very poorly written..
afterwards however the book became really good and I recommend getting through the expedition dump..
This book is kind of Hunger games meets Aragon sci-fi with a female lead and it's pretty great:)

Exceptional.
I was vested in the story and characters. I was enthralled with the use of Chinese culture and history in the story line. The narration was spot on. I hope we hear more from the author.

My Emotions Are Too High
Please oh please let there be a sequel. This book is amazing, refreshing, impactful, and important.
I'm struggling to review it because the depths and heights it took me to require stronger language than I'm capable of.
I've loved the author's YouTube videos and bought this book to support them. I had no idea the amazing ride I was in for. I have a new favorite author.

Even better than I could've imagined!!
This is without a doubt one of my favorite books I've read this year! I've really enjoyed Xiran Jay Zhao's videos on YouTube, and I was excited for this book because they are really great at storytelling. When I tell you this book blew beyond my expectations completely, I am not exaggerating. Consort Wu is a fascinating protagonist, I ADORE the love triangle, and beyond just being entertaining, Iron Widow is a fascinating look at gender and power. Iron Widow is a page turner and I cannot wait for the second book!

Really loved this book!
To be honest I first learned about this book because the author dressed up in full traditional Chinese garments and posted in a Facebook group I’m in. I didn’t know what to expect but i am SO glad i decided to check out the book. Xirans prose is absolutely beautiful, she has a very poetic way of setting scenes. The story itself is multifaceted and gripping, taking you on a wild ride that explores some uniquely Asian themes, along with popular fantasy tropes with their own twist. Every chapter leaves you wanting more, and I felt immersed in the world that was built.
As an Asian American who’s read fantasy books their whole life, iron widow is the first time that I’ve ever read a fantasy book that I feel like I can really relate with. I’m not sure if xiran will ever read this review but if she does I hope she knows what an inspiration she is.
Lastly, the narration by rong fu is absolutely a marvel. The emotion and voices that she portrays really brings the book to life. I actually think it is one of the best audiobook performances that I’ve ever listened to in my life.

I loved it
I had seen this book recommended on book tok and decided to give it a go. I regret nothing. if anything it was even better than I thought it would be and I had high expectations. A strong female lead, an interesting relationship without the YA drama, and huge robots! my only complaint is that it's over and now I have to wait and see if a sequel comes out and I hate waiting :-(
