A review by notevenastar
Reflecting the Sky by S.J. Rozan
4.0
Holy shit. I had a review drafted in my head about how amazing the mystery was and much I enjoyed the details about Hong Kong's culture. But then the last two pages knocked the thoughts out of me?? Like this wasn't supposed to be a review about how Lydia and Bill's relationship is progressing but hhhhhh. That was sweet and a little sad at the same time, but extremely attention-grabbing.
Overall, Rozan is super good at writing subtlety in her characters' arcs and I think that's why her books as a whole are amazing. Like both the individual plots and the overarching relationships require patience and thoughtfulness. It's too late at night for me to write a comprehensive review but pretty much "book good, ending satisfying on several levels".
(Poor Bill, as usual. Just can't catch a break of any kind.)
