Maggie Shen King has proven herself to be a phenomenal creator of worlds and weaver of plots in her debut novel. Her characters come alive under her deftly written prose, and the way she structures her novel allows her to slowly trickle information about her dark future at an increasingly frantic pace. At times the plot came together a bit too conveniently for my particular taste, but never did that overshadow her remarkable talent and worldbuilding prowess. She is a writer to watch, for sure, and I can’t wait to read more from this talented person.
