A review by arinnroberson
The Thousand Crimes of Ming Tsu by Tom Lin

2.0

I was super excited for this but ended up pretty disappointed. I never really got attached to the characters. I thought there would be more to get me invested in Ming’s quest more about his wife and their life. But it was always more of this half remembered dream for him. I also thought that there would be more look into his role and the reality of him being the son of Chinese immigrants during this time of American history. But it rarely came up and when it did it seemed more like he was rejecting that part of Him self. The fighting was a particular let down a bit uninspired. Boring straightforward, people ended up dead fairly easily. The stakes never felt that high.
The miracle people seemed incredibly random and unclear to meet what greater role they played.
