A boy who feels inferior, a girl who doesn't know she is superior.
If you like Chinese based fantasy, reality with magic, LBTQ+ Representation, complex political plots you need to read this book.
This complex political fantasy spans about 100 years of American alternative history. The story isn't presented in a linear timeline.
Step into a world of American Chinese where magic exists and the magical world is torn on a major issue. Should magic people stay hidden from normal people?
While I struggled to keep track of all the timelines (probably due to listening to the audio), the author expertly twisted and knotted this story into an exquisite tapestry. I really enjoyed the complicated relationships and learning more about Chinese mythology.
I liked the narrator and felt she was engaging and versatile.
