A review by kaulhilo
Descendant of the Crane by Joan He

3.0

giving this a very hesitant, tentative 3 stars. i feel like i need to go back and reread to appreciate this book for what it is, and i know i did a massive disservice to it by reading it after sound the gong, especially when it’s a considerably well-written, well-planned debut, but oh. can’t go back in time and fix that, so a reread later will have to do.
