A review by toupseric
Low Town by Daniel Polansky

Did not finish book. Stopped at 25%.

It is a very well-written book with an interesting main character. Noir fantasy if that makes sense. The author has a race of people called the Kiren that the main character describes in very essentializing and unpleasant terms, particularly striking because they are obviously just Chinese. The racism was off-putting and maybe he pulls a “the character is racist, not the story,” but I’m not sticking around to find out.
