Just read Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao. Wonderful subversions of many tropes (the classic ya love triangle for one) and filled with rage. It's great.
Oh, hey! I’ve been wondering is it good, love her videos on YouTube
It's a good read. The main character is very angry, very assertive, and very crafty. I would gush about the story more, but all the cool stuff is spoilers. If you ever wanted to see a protagonist go "You know what? I'm gonna burn it all down." then this is the book for you.
