laurareads87 's review for:
The Tea Master and the Detective
by Aliette de Bodard
Solid 3.5 stars -- I liked a lot about this, and will definitely read more of Aliette de Bodard's work. I did find myself wishing for more context -- I enjoyed the plot very much, and the interplay between the main characters, but I'm just not sure that this was the best place to start with The Universe of Xuya -- I wish I'd started with a story that falls earlier in the universe's chronology to have more of the backstory. That said, I absolutely liked this one enough to want to go back and do that reading now.
