A review by claireviolet
Portrait of a Thief by Grace D. Li

3.5

this is so fun and charming! the book feels like it wants to be grand and sweeping, in a way that reminds me of the way i felt when i was on the edge of twenty. i think the execution was just okay and that the five povs really bled into one another since every character’s voice was so similar to the rest, but i want more books to be overly ambitious and to swing big as bravely as li does here. i look forward to reading whatever she writes next.
