Speaking Bones by Ken Liu
3.0

This book is just TOO LONG. I enjoyed parts, but I did not need to know every little detail of every invention or the back story of every minor character. Writing a novel means making choices and the downfall of the Dandelion Dynasty is that Liu made no choices. I'm sure there is an amazing 200 page novel buried in here, but it was just TOO LONG.
