review 1: A young woman is trained from childhood to be an assassin and a spy. She infiltrates one rival gang to help the other out, and becomes infamous in Shanghai as a skeleton woman, one who will cause many to die for her. I rather liked Camilla's POV, as she slowly came around to realizing she did have feelings and was not an automaton. I just wish there had been a bit more action -- I did not really care for any of the men, and wanted more with Rainbow Chang and Shadow the Magician. Ladies first, please. But it was pretty good, even if it seeemed anachronistic at times.
review 2: It's been awhile since I finished this book, so my review probably isn't worth a great deal - I liked the book, but obviously wasn't overly enamored of it or would have been telling about ... moreit sooner. It has quite a bit of intrigue and sufficient character development. The writing was less captivating than Anchi Min and Lisa See. Good book - but I would recommend borrowing it rather than buying it. I don't think it ranks up there with the book I'll return to again. less
