The Mountains Sing
by Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai
dark
emotional
sad
tense
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Strong character development:
Yes
Loveable characters:
Yes
A lovely story overall, with some simple yet effective writing. It just has some pretty glaring pacing issues - thing that seem like major emotional beats or plot points get narrated in a few paragraphs, and the events come off as episodic rather than part of complete whole.
