A review by hypocean
A Scattering of Jades by Alexander C. Irvine

2.0

As it stands, this is a story steeped in Mexican culture and religion with only one Mexican character (who dies early on, what a surprise). I wasn't motivated to like the main character or his daughter, and the antagonist was boring. The pacing was good, and the action was exciting, but I guess I was looking for something a little more emotionally and intellectually substantial. Honestly Stephen was my favourite part of the book and I was much more interested in him than the main plot. Good for reading on the train, but not much lasting power.
