I was hoping to find another *River of Stars* in this epic Asian inspired historical fantasy novel. Unfortunately, Ken Liu isn't Guy Gavriel Kay. Although I enjoyed the sly humour and Asian history lessons, I was not able to connect with the confusing jumble of characters. The unusual writing style is deliberately reminiscent of the great Chinese myths, so you should expect "telling" instead of "showing." I found the book a difficult slog, but the last 200 pages are much more interesting than the first 400.
