Zetian must balance dangerous politics with a new quest for vengeance in the sequel to the #1 New York Times bestseller Iron Widow.

Pacific Rim meets The Handmaid's Tale in this blend of Chinese history and mecha science fiction for YA readers.

After suffering devastating loss and making drastic decisions, Zetian finds herself on the seat of power in Huaxia, but she has also learned that her world is not as it seems. Revelations about an enemy who dangles one of her loved ones as a hostage force Zetian to share power with a dangerous man she cannot simply depose. Despite their mutual dislike and distrust, the two must work together to take down their common enemy and stoke a revolution against the systems of exploitation that plague their world.

However, power is not so easy to wield once seized, and a revolution is not so easy to control once unleashed. As Huaxia’s former elites strike back and the common people’s fervor for justice turns bloody and paranoid, can Zetian remain a fair and just ruler? Or will she be forced to rely on fear and violence and succumb to her darker instincts in her quest for vengeance and liberation? Literatura i beletrystyka Science fiction i fantasy

PRAISE FOR Heavenly Tyrant:

"[S]trong worldbuilding lays a foundation for a story that explores social issues [and] delves into Zetian’s internal battles . . . A roller coaster of entertainment, emotions, and political machination." —Kirkus Reviews

"Returning fans will find many things to love in this cathartic power fantasy." —School Library Journal

"Full of action and intrigue . . . Whatever happens, Zetian remains in the center of it all. She is relentless, and she is sometimes a mess. But she is determined to bring down the gods—and anyone else—who control her and her country by any means necessary." —Reactor Magazine

Incredibly well written power dynamics, rich worldbuilding and interesting sociopolitical circumstances that invite critical thought and inspire to revisit personal viewpoints and biases. A 'must read' for sure! Harsh and uncompromising how we know and love this series. Only the last story beat was a bit faster paced than i would have liked. But thats just how i like my Action. So you mileage may vary. I'll recommend to everybody. :)

Amazing book that everybody should read!

Es hat eine fesselnde Handlung welche die Geschichte aus dem ersten Band perfekt fortsetzt ohne ein einfache mehr des selben zu sein.
Weiterhin vielschichtige Charaktere und die Sprecherinnen machen einen ausgezeichnete Job

absolutes Meisterwerk

I thouroughly enjoyed this, maybe even more than book 1! The ending was insane, and it stabbed my heart :(

Right around the mid of the book I thought the story dragged a bit, but I encourage everyone to get through it because the second half of the book really picks up.

The story is much more thought-inspiring, higher concept (a class rebellion broke out) and mature than book 1... And Zetian finally hangs out with girlies yayyy :))

A great second book with strong messages

The new characters didn't feel tangible, the writing a lot weaker, especially when it comes to the political views I often felt like reading something from a teenager who'd just read Marx. It's very on the nose with little subtlety or nuance and the same goes for the main "romance". It fails to be a good distopian sci-fi book even close in quality to authors like Octavia E. Butler.
If there's going to be a third book it's unlikely I'll read it.
Even though I enjoyed the first book very much.

Disappointing sequel after a strong first book and a long wait

While the book is very ambitious and explores various sociopolitical concepts and phenomena (gender, class, and intersecting inequalities; social, political and civic rights, socialism, capitalism, governance, hegemony, regime changes, politics etc.) the execution remains lacking. The plot is scattered, the pacing is uneven und the characters feel superficial or incoherent. I enjoyed Iron Widow a lot but Heavenly Tyrant left me deeply disappointed.

A for effort
