2.5 stars rounded up. I was so excited to read this book. Started strong and ended in jumbled, confused mess with so many loose ends. It was such a hot mess for the last half to third of the book. The book is told by 2 points of view. Bao's story is told in 3rd person and Snow's story is told in first person. By the end of the book, I didn't care for either of these characters. The focus was more on looks than making sure that there was consistency in character traits and following through on plot lines. This book suffered from not having a good editor to point out all the flaws. I was thoroughly irritated and frustrated. There was so much potential.
I enjoyed this book a lot. Beautiful writing, interesting characters, and a great introduction to Malaysian folklore. It tells of story of motherhood, grief, revenge, forgiveness, and connection. I loved the investigation arc as well.
