A review by kokechii
Fireheart Tiger by Aliette de Bodard

2.0

The writing itself is nice, but the story... I felt myself getting intrigued at the start and definitely wanted to learn more and to live a bit with these characters. But the shortness of the story leaves so much to be desired. Bringing in topics of colonialism and toxic relationships in such a short time felt like a rather poor attempt at anything. Expecting more mystery and court intrigues the turnover of the story felt too fast and fell flat for me.
