lizmck 's review for:
Dragon Pearl
by Yoon Ha Lee
DNF. Min is too perfect as a heroine. She is preternatually self-possessed for a 13-year-old, nothing ever upsets or surprises her, and the plot just ticks along without any obstacles coming in her way.
Come on, how does a young teen who has spent her whole life on the family farm suddenly know that the slight bulge under someone's shirt is a concealed weapon? How does she instantly know how to repair a spaceship engine and fire a blaster.
However, I give the author credit for interesting use of Korean folk mythology in a SF setting.
