Better than She Who Became the Sun, this book really picked up at around the 20-30% mark. I was struggling for the first part of the book, especially because I didn't remember the plot of She Who Became the Sun very well, but once I got in the groove of things it trotted along nicely.

Take a shot every time you read:

• "Hungry ghosts"
• "Trotted"
• "Behatted"
• "Curious"

Also: I think I would have liked this more if the absolute psychological torment undergone by the characters wasn't described so lushly. The prose got a little purple at times, describing people's internal suffering. It was a bit much.

good fucking soup. The way that Shelley Parker-Chan writes about people and the relationships they have is just so delicious. I can’t wait to read more from them.
