Thorn of the Night Blossoms by J.C. Kang
4.0
A short easy read, only the size of a novella, this is an action packed Asian fantasy with courtesans and assassins.
The strong point of this story is not the characters, but in the action and description. This world is rich in flavor and detail, and following the main character's movements and fights through various locales is great. If you're a fan of thieves/assassins in media and want to read some very well written sneaky segments with great combat, then pick this up.
This is not to say the story is bad, the characters are a little flat but nothing horrible or cliche, it is a very short read so I cannot expect a lot of character development. The story and mystery are good enough backdrops to the action, and the characters fit it well.
If the setting, story, or assassins interest you, pick this up, it's really cheap and a good quick read.
