A review by stateofiction
Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

Did not finish book. Stopped at 12%.

this book is written like a fairy tale. that is not a compliment.

I'm currently taking two classes on mythology and folklore, so I've read a lot of different fairy tales this semester. the thing about fairy tales is that they are not good. you read them for the culture or for nostalgia or to see the inspiration for your favorite Disney movie. but my point is that the actual stories and writing are never good. they're simple and short.

this book just reads like one long Grimm's tale, where no characters have personality and you focused way too much on that tree.
