She Who Became The Sun, by Shelley Parker-Chan Synopsis: A novelization of the rise of the Ming Dynasty, but the founding emperor is reimagined as a woman living in secret as a man. Book Review: A fascinating read that focuses on the Will To Power, and sexual dynamics in a pre-modern society. The POV alternates between Zhu (the rising emperor) and Ouyang (a eunuch slave-turned-general with intense self-loathing issues).
