A review by jennifersiyuanzhou
Forest of a Thousand Lanterns by Julie C. Dao
2.0
2.5 stars, rounded up cuz it wasn't necessarily sooo bad.
It's..been a while and I don't remember a lot of what happened (which kinda speaks for itself). I do remember just being in the character's own head the whole time and the whole time she was going back and forth about whether she should "be evil" and "give into the power" and it got a little old? Like I don't feel like she was really...doing anything rather than thinking real hard...worldbuilding was weird and confusing and didn't really get it.
Listened on audiobook and i kept having to go back because I kept zoning out.
