On the way to the red book 📕 one may travel through literary history.
pickI was not prepared for this one to be all the emotions!!!
I would like to point out that the back of the book jacket has 'Praise for Zen Cho' (the author, not the book), and amongst these is the quote from John Scalzi “fun and full of adventure“. I'm thinking that's probably in reference to a different book. There are hijinks and high action moments, there is banter, 1/?
I mean, if you're going to have a religious order, ensuring your nuns can kick ass if necessary just seems practical. 💁🏼♂️
Just found my favourite new threat! 😵😏
Ah Kheng would like to not be at work, now please. 🤦🏼♂️😆
pickWhen arms instructor Lin Chong is wrongfully accused of treason, she is rescued and taken to the mountain sanctuary of Liangshan where she joins bandits who fight for the good of the Empire.
Bad ass women being bad ass while taking down corrupt politicians. Shes, Theys, and (maybe??) Gays unite!
Also, magic (that isn‘t magic).
I enjoyed this book so much!
Great adventure fantasy. I like that it is mostly a band of women and non binary folks as protagonist bandits, but really, this I s a darker Asian version of the kind of tale the three musketeers are👍
pickThis queer, feminist retelling of a Chinese classic follows a master arms instructor whose life is destroyed by a corrupt official. But when a band of outlaws save her, she discovers a new way of living she's never let herself imagine before. If you love martial arts movies/ books, this is definitely for you.v
Enjoying this one so far. About halfway through and the story has really picked up after a slightly slower start.
Finishing up an audiovook and hoping to start one of the new short story collections I got at the bookstore today #WeekendReads
