I really enjoyed the book while I was reading it, but then I got to the last 30ish pages and I was wondering how they were going to bring everything together. It ended with you just having more questions.
I also wasn't a huge fan of the sentence structure. They were like very blunt. If that makes any sense.
I loved the short chapters though so it made for a very quick read!!!

I really want to like this book! Growing up in a Chinese family and in Malacca, I could relate so much to this story. The superstitions, beliefs and customs brought back so much childhood memories. But the story is getting nowhere (really out of focus), makes no sense and the main character Li Lan annoys me too much. So I had to bail on this book. At least I read halfway 😣

BiblioLitten I didn‘t like Li Lang either. I dragged through the first half, the second half was better though. 5y
thereadingowlvina @BiblioLitten Did you finish it? 🙂 5y
BiblioLitten Yup. I didn‘t want to bail on it because I had spent a lot of time on the first half. 5y
thereadingowlvina @BiblioLitten What did you think of the book overall? 😊 5y

I #quit this book after reading 20 pages. I was unable to follow the plot. Most of my reading time was spent figuring out if that sentence is a dialogue or not (due to no quotation marks!) It was really #frustrating and I can't imagine reading over 700 pages having to figure that out. Maybe I will try #audiobook for this. #booksiquit #nopunctuation #disappointedread
