joycenyy 's review for:

Four Treasures of the Sky by Jenny Tinghui Zhang
3.0

3.5 stars. I love the writing and the metaphor and theme of calligraphy through out and enjoyed most of the book, but my interest waned at the very last section. It felt like the pace/cadence was off with the arrest coming so late in the book that I didn't feel very invested in it.

My favorite parts were the breakdown of the Chinese characters; it was really fun and cool to see Chinese characters I've known my whole life in a different light, making the language even more beautiful and profound.
