Sebenernya udah cukup lama gw mau buku ini dan fortunately gw bIsa baca serta menyelesaikan buku yang cukup banyak hypenya ini.
And let me tell you, the hype was right
Jakarta Sebelum Pagi adalah sebuah buku yang menceritakan tentang kisah cinta seorang remaja kantoran bernama Emina Nilvis dengan seorang stalker yang bekerja sebagai graphic designer bernama Abel Fergani dengan berbagai macam lika-liku yang sepertinya hanya dimiliki oleh warga Southern Jekardah.
Meskipun terkesan clichè (bukan penyanyi) pembawaan kisah romansa mereka dibuat sangat menarik karena bukan hanya dipenuhi oleh budaya pop kultur yang kental tapi juga side story yang juga memperkuat pertumbuhan karakter mereka.
Intinya, wajib dibaca, terlebih kalau butuh bacaan teenlit (?) atau novel yang berbeda.

Welcome To Your Nightmare!
Tbh i'm a sucker for alternate history/historical fiction type of story because of it's way to retell or bring up brand new story that would've happen and Iron Widow fits the criteria by having the only woman emperor in China, Emperor Wu Zetian, as the main protagonist in this futuristic nation called Huaxia with lots of intrigue and politics that happen in it.
I love how Xiran brought up the gender issues that happened in old China like misogynistic views about woman, beauty standards that make woman suffer (esp. binded legs) and concubines that are basically tools for men to succeed in a very realistic way and even though it maybe a bit controversial but some of it are still exist today whether you like it or not.
The characters are also written in a very solid way especially Shimin with it's background completely changed yet still manage to make me invested in the series and also MECHAS!!! THE MECHAS ARE AWESOME AND ALSO FROM THE FOUR SYMBOLS!!!
My inner Chinese History Geek side fills with joy 😹
In the end, Iron Widow is a book filled with potential and i hope i can read the sequel very soon!
p.s : So.... Zetian is basically Lelouch?
