Gee
Things I liked: The setting: Fantasy-based Vietnam where women hold power? Of course that would be a hook.
Things I didn't like: E...everything else
Sometimes I say that 100 pages isn't enough because I usually want more of the story. This isn't the case for this book. Everything felt rushed. I don't feel particularly attached to Thanh so therefore I'm not exactly rooting for her. Her character felt bland and even annoying at times. Having more of a background on her and her experiences might have changed things. The healthy romance in this didn't really make sense and, boy, that was fast. And the toxic romance was kinda highlighted more
