Descendant of the Crane by Joan He

2.0

Mixed feelings on this one. Good plot twists but the rest was so meh.

This book tried so hard to give complex political intrigue that fell flat on its face. Some of the ideas here are promising, but they happen around cartoonish villains, a clueless protagonist and a love interest that's trying to be Eugenides from The Thief. Mehhhhhh.
