A review by rienne
A Dream of Stone & Shadow by Marjorie Liu
4.0
3.5: um, how did I not know that Marjorie Liu has an entire fantasy/paranormal romance series?
This was a novella, so of course it was full of insta-lust, but also, I've decided that any book that actively engages with racism (hello, protagonist of color who mentions, by name, the white supremacists she grew up surrounded by!) automatically gets, like, 500 bonus points, which pretty much outweigh any and all plot development issues.
Also, Liu's writing is just so good. It flows so, so smoothly--it's a joy to read for that alone.
