Review: I have read some other books by Zen Cho, a Malaysian fantasy writer and accordingly wanted to read all her works. I am afraid of not doing her justice or putting people off, which would be a shame. The story is about a group of bandits who meet up with a Buddhist nun and together they go to sell some stolen temple artifacts. (All of that is superficially true but not the whole truth) I think I learnt more about Buddhism, empathy and corruption in one book than if I had studied religion and politics for a year. Humour runs through it all and I felt like I had been given a genuine insight into third world characters and a situation far more complex than instant sound bites. At the end of the book I was glad I had purchased it and feel a more rounded person for having done so. I gather the label is wuxia fantasy, regardless of that read it.

Review: This is a novella and just as it gets really interesting it finishes. I really hope this is the first of many more. I love Zen Cho's writing.
