While it was intriguing to start, and seemed to hold great promise, I found the deep connections (I'm guessing) to Chinese culture made me feel like I was missing too much. I found it hard to relate to the characters and did not understand their motivations. Too bad, as I really wanted to give this author a fair chance.
Edit March 2025: Giving this book another try; updated review to follow.
