Story
In a different life, under a different name, Razia Khan was raised to be the crown prince of Nizam, the most powerful kingdom in Daryastan. Born with the soul of a woman, she ran away at a young age to escape her father’s hatred and live life true to herself. Among the hijras of Bikampur, Razia finds sisterhood and discovers a new purpose in life. By day she’s one of her dera’s finest dancers and by night its most profitable thief. But when her latest target leads her to cross paths with Arjun Agnivansha, prince of Bikampur, it is she who has something stolen.

One of my new favorites

I absolutely loved this story, to the point after reading it I decided to enjoy it again. I can't wait to read the sequel once I'm done again.
I love Razia as a protagonist and seeing all of her different talents from over her life come into play in order to carve a life for her. I also loved her relationship with Arjun which honestly I wish we spent a little more time with.
Which I think is my only real complaint, that I wanted more. Would've liked more glimpses into her upbringing, more time seeing this deep love Arjun & her have, more of seeing her spend time in court. But, these are things I can look past.
Over all, I really did enjoy this book. And the fact I want to read again right after finishing, is what elevates this for me.

Story
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.

Once I started I couldn't put it down. Totally engrossed in the world and Wu Zetian's story. Who I was totally behind and loved hearing her thought process for the actions she took. I loved all the main characters especially Li Shimin. Now while not absolutely perfect, the ending honestly left me wanting more.
