desertvixen: woman reading a book (reading)
[personal profile] desertvixen

 Am I the only person who finished Laura Joh Rowland's book The Snow Empress and said WTF was that?

 I think the series might be succumbing to the same thing that killed the Karp/Ciampi books for me - the series plot has just gotten a little too out there.  Also, the whole bit with the spirit possession just... didn't work for me.

 There were still moments I enjoyed, but overall my impression of the book wasn't positive.  One, it's short but rambles.  Two, the characters seem off in a way the plot doesn't justify.  Three, Hirata needs to get his head out of his ass.  Four, there's a couple of points where characters seem a little too modern.

 Maybe it's just me...
