Marek reviewed The Order of the Pure Moon Reflected in Water by Zen Cho

Zen Cho: The Order of the Pure Moon Reflected in Water (Hardcover, 2020, Tor)

A bandit walks into a coffeehouse, and it all goes downhill from there. Guet Imm, …

Rich in character and heart despite its brevity.

4 stars

I'm new to Zen Cho, but this certainly ensures I'll come back. A #wuxia (or potentially #xianxia) novella, about a bandit crew dealing with the sudden imposition of a new member.

Funny, endearing, and with a lot of heart. Well recommended.

#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.
