A review by ishmael
The House of Binding Thorns by Aliette de Bodard

3.0

I didn't like the reader. He gave most of the Vietnamese characters an "Asian accent" that sounded like a stereotype and made it hard to tell what they were saying. That definitely took away from my enjoyment.

I didn't feel for Philippe as I did in the last book but Madeleine was compelling, and I enjoyed the new additions of Francois and Thuan. I liked how things resolved with Asmodeus, definitely hadn't expected that. Lots of interesting moral grey areas.
