A review by allieryanreads
Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao
5.0
Vengeance, survival, love, power and strength.
Wow. I’m still processing that last third of the book. This is the rage-filled feminist sci-fi story I didn’t know that I desperately needed. Incredibly engaging and I am glad that we get to continue this story with book two. Once I had the chance to actually read and get into the story, it was extremely difficult to put it down.
Content warnings:
* Scenes of violence and abuse
* Suicide ideation
* Discussion and references to sexual assault/harassment (no on-page depictions of assaults)
* Alcohol addiction
* Torture
* Foot binding (described on page and a lasting impact throughout)
* Femicide
