The Headmaster's Wager by Vincent Lam

5.0

Cho Lon is one of my favorite areas in HCMC today, so I was eager to pick this book up when I saw the premise. I didn’t think I could like a book while hating the main character, but here we are. Lam does a great job at bringing the city and time to life, and liked all the characters except Percy. That man was such an example of failing upwards.
