I review vol 4 of The Husky and His White Cat Shizun by Rou Bao Bu Chi Rou. Such exquisite torment of two people in love who can't communicate. Best volume so far.

I review Heaven Official's Blessing vol. 8 by Mò Xiāng Tóng Xiù. The story of Xie Lian and Hua Cheng has come to a rather uneventful end. https://susannashore.blogspot.com/2023/12/heaven-officials-blessing-vol-8-by-mo.html
Last volume of Heaven Official's Blessing by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu is out today, and I both want to read it immediately and don't want to read it at all so it won't end. 😭

My latest book review is up: A Bright Heart by Kate Chenli. A reincarnation revenge story in style of Asian light novels that didn't quite meet my expectations. Out this week. https://susannashore.blogspot.com/2023/10/a-bright-heart-by-kate-chenli-review.html
My latest book review is up: Remnants of Filth vol 2 by Rou Bao Bu Chi Rou. Slower than the first volume, with no plot but with many moving moments. https://susannashore.blogspot.com/2023/10/remnants-of-filth-vol-2-by-rou-bao-bu.html

My latest book review: Heaven Official's Blessing Vol. 7 by Mò Xiāng Tóng Xiù. Great revelations before the last volume. https://susannashore.blogspot.com/2023/09/heaven-officials-blessing-vol-7-by-mo.html
My latest book review is up: Guardian: Zhen Hun vol 1 by Priest. Urban fantasy m/m romance set in modern China, with some scary bits and great characters.

My latest review is up: Thousand Autumns vol 2 by Meng Xi Shi.
The trials and tribulations of Shen Qiao continue. The second volume is stronger than the first and doesn't end with a cliffhanger. But a great love story it isn't. Yet.

Finished reading: Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation: Mo Dao Zu Shi (Novel) Vol. 5 (Special Edition)
Aa-aa-and we’re done!
So this volume is cut weird, with really only the first slightly-less-than-200 pages being the end of the series proper; the rest are the “extras.” Hot takes and spoilers under the cut . . .

My latest review is up: Stars of Chaos Vol. 1 by Priest. A Chinese take on steampunk, with a slow-build BL romance. https://susannashore.blogspot.com/2023/07/stars-of-chaos-sha-po-lang-vol-1-by.html
A bandit walks into a coffeehouse, and it all goes downhill from there. Guet Imm, …
Rich in character and heart despite its brevity.

#StrangeHorizons has published a #wuxia #xianxia special edition and I think it's wonderful. There's three stories, some poems and essays on the genre. All for free.

@bookstodon My #review of #GrandmasterofDemonicCultivation Vol. 5 (#MoDaoZuShi) by #MoXiangTongXiu has gone live! This was a great wrap-up of the series: bittersweet for the most part, which I think makes better sense than an out-and-out happy ending.
