Editor’s note Chinese-Canadian writer and video essayist on Chinese history. Iron Widow, their most read and highest rated book, reimagines the rise of Wu Zetian, China’s only female emperor, as young adult mecha science fiction: in a world where giant battle machines are piloted by a boy and a girl whose minds are linked, and where the girls usually die, Zetian volunteers to avenge her sister and turns the system on itself. Furious and fast. The sequel, Heavenly Tyrant, rates lower. Read in order.
