cords 's review for:
Portrait of a Thief
by Grace D. Li
3.5 rounded up???
I'm so conflicted about how I feel about this book; it did grow on me and by act 3 i was really loving it, but I also felt like the book didn't give what it was trying to give??? Maybe I read this too close to reading Babel, which is definitely the superior "pretentious book about chinese characters reclaiming their language/art from western colonisers whilst grappling with an identity crisis"
This book did make me cry though so i was definitely very invested in it (especially daniels family situation)
I think this is one of those books I'll need to sit with for a bit or reread to figure out how I feel about it better
The sapphic romance gave me life, that was great
