Review: The Assassin Tao Buhuan (刺客桃不换) by Mu Sui Feng

Over the last couple of years, I've noticed a dismaying trend in my responses to new-ish, Western-published genre titles: they tend to leave me disappointed, frustrated, and in the worst cases, enraged enough to write ranty Goodreads reviews. I've begun wondering miserably whether the problem is with me: do I just... hate books now?

Then a book like this comes along, and I realise that, no, it's the children who are wrong.

I read the Chinese original of the novel on JJWXC.
