The Order of the Pure Moon Reflected in Water

by Zen Cho

Zen Cho returns with The Order of the Pure Moon Reflected in Water, a found family wuxia fantasy that combines the vibrancy of old school martial arts movies with characters drawn from the margins of history.

A bandit walks into a coffeehouse, and it all goes downhill from there. Guet Imm, a young votary of the Order of the Pure Moon, joins up with an eclectic group of thieves (whether they like it or not) in order to protect a sacred object, and finds herself in a far more complicated situation than she could have ever imagined.

While I loved the quietness of the story and the queer found-family tropes, the characterization of the characters was thin and the banter seemed hollow to me. Plenty of people love it though
