Empress - Maharani Wu

Her transformation felt so visceral and complex. I’m curious whether this was planned from the start or evolved as the story progressed.

The alliances and betrayals kept me guessing, but I often wondered if I was missing subtle clues. Did others find it overwhelming or immersive?

The setting really immerses you in a brutal, unforgiving world. I wonder if the author drew from specific historical or mythological sources.
