The characters are interesting, and the plot feels really unique. I also liked the concept of the Chrysalises.
I just felt like the ending happened too fast, and we see Zetian go from calculating and thinking things out before acting to just acting out of rage without thinking. To me, that felt like her character growth was taking a few steps back.
The very last plot twist was a bit interesting, so I'm really torn if I want to pick up the sequel.
I will say that while this book wasn't for me, it was by no means a bad book, and if it sounds like something that might interest you, definitely give it a try!

There are some tropes I found a little silly but ultimately don’t take away from the overall experience too much:
- perfect rich boyfriend and mysterious strong quiet guy who’s actually just a sweet heart. both of them are likable but it’s still trope-y LOL
- some side characters feel more like caricatures than humans
