FINALLY A 5 STAR READ. One of those where I'm trying to think of any reason not to, and I'm coming up empty.
A perfect novella. It brought me back to a world I already know and love, there were exciting cameos from characters I already know, and some new characters, showcasing Fonda Lee's incredible character work in very few pages. She is the MASTER.
This also was just a thrilling mystery from start to finish and kept me engaged all the way through a 4 hour car ride.
And I have to say, days after the 2024 US election... I needed that ending. I'm so happy with how it went.I nearly cried when Lan appeared, because I just knew he'd be a kind and much-needed voice of reason. What I'd give to have leaders like him right now. ðŸ˜
Just excellent work, as always. Excited for Jade Shards, but I'm definitely going to put it off for a while. I don't want to part with this world yet.
