I am now eyeing Song of Silver, Flame Like Night by Amélie Wen Zhao and Strike the Zither by Joan He. The former is apparently more romantic fantasy/historical fiction/mystery whereas the latter is more reimagined Romance of the Three Kingdoms with female characters. I’m actually leaning towards the latter right now.
Since I am going to Europe on an upcoming May trip I will do this reading sometime between June to the end of this year. I don’t feel like doing another search on this topic so gut feeling is that I’m going with Strike the Zither.
