Iron Widow - Xiran Jay Zhao


⭐5

Iron Widow is a beautifully crafted story, showcasing futuristic elements in an alternative Chinese style. 

Zetian signs herself up to be a concubine-pilot, knowing very well that she will be killed for her chi, but she has different plans. She was going to murder the pilot who killed her big sister.

Here is the back of the book:

The boys of Huaxia dream of pairing up with girls to pilot chrysalises - giant transforming robots that battle aliens beyond the Great wall. It doesn't matter that their female co-pilots are expected to serve as concubines and often die from the mental strain.
