There were some likable things here - it's nice to see a fantasy novel drawing on Chinese mythology/culture, rather than the standard Western European stuff. I felt the author was trying to hard to drop in Chinese/Japanese terms just to show off at times.
What turned me off from the book is how perfect the main character is. She's charming, and strong, and upstanding, and fierce, and we know this not so much because of anything that she does, but rather because other characters mention this to her. Every thirty pages or so.
The plot wasn't my cuppa, either: I went in expecting wuxia American Gods, but instead got wuxia Twilight.
