Liar, Dreamer, Thief by Maria Dong

4.0

I got this as an ARC and I think I’ve found a new author to follow! Dong did an excellent job weaving culture, mental illness and family trauma into what turned into a very interesting story. It took a little bit to get into because the beginning was heavy with background set up including a fantasy world. As one who doesn’t enjoy the fantasy genre I was concerned that it would just get heavier as the book went on, but Dong flawlessly weaved it into the story. I definitely was not ready for what the story became. Song kept it interesting until the very last page. Just when you think you have it figured out…twist!
