She executed her enemies without mercy, and even murdered her own children for political gain. She set up her own imperial harem made up of young men. She elected herself a living god and held a ruthless reign of terror for over fifty years. Yet in the end, it was sex that led to her downfall.

I was excited to read this book, but when it arrived, the cover was bent and the pages felt cheap. I couldn't get into the story because the physical quality was off-putting. Wish I'd received a better copy!

Interesting but Slow at Times
While the premise of this book is super fascinating, I found some parts dragged on. The details are rich, but I sometimes struggled to stay engaged. That said, I appreciate the effort to highlight this lesser-known piece of history!

A Unique Perspective on Chinese History
This book really dives into the life of the only female emperor of China. It's not what I expected, but I loved learning about her struggles and triumphs. Just a heads up, the writing can get a bit dense, so it took me longer to finish than I thought!

Inspiring Read About an Unlikely Empress
I picked this book up on a whim, and I'm so glad I did! The story of the only woman to become emperor of China is told with such depth and emotion. It really opened my eyes to a different side of history. Highly recommend for anyone interested in strong female figures!
