A review by katenetz
Jade Lady Burning by Martin Limón

adventurous dark mysterious medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot

3.5

Location, location, location. This book is all about setting and vibe. The strong noir feel was unexpected but interesting. I enjoyed learning about an unfamiliar time and place but I also felt icky about that time and place. The manipulative power structures of the post-Korean war period were not great. I need to go read a Korean perspective of this time after this.
