Helpful Score: 1

I agree with Leah's review; there were not many opportunities to emotionally connect with the incredibly strong main character. She seemed to become much harder to identify with as the book went along, which I suppose makes sense as she goes from a young girl of a lower-noble family to empress of China, but this still makes the book more difficult to get through. A decent read, but I've read much better historical fiction.
