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.

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.
