![]() And the joy I felt in that moment was surreal.īut being typical of me, I didn’t begin reading Iron Widow until the tour. And, weeks after forgetting I had dropped my details, I received a Netgalley approval email. But, I gave it a shot anyway because you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. Out of desperation, I scoured the internet for a publisher’s contact to find that Xiran Jay Zhao had posted an ARC request form on their Twitter and I was months too late. When one of my Netgalley support groups announced that Iron Widow was a read now, I searched Netgalley high and low but was disappointed that despite being on both US and UK Netgalley, neither had it. So, I knew that they knew what they would walk the walk when it came to a novel featuring Wu Zetian. Iron Widow is one of those books that I desperately wanted to read before it even hit the shelves, hype aside, I’ve been a huge fan of Xiran Jay Zhao from their Mulan video on Youtube, after being disappointed by the live-action film.
