More About The Archer Who Shot Down Suns: Scale-Bright Stories
The author has a peculiar style of writing, enjoys the immediacy of present tense, which makes it easy to differentiate when she uses flashbacks to provide contrast to the ongoing action. These three stories read a little like a myth, although I find it easier to relate to the main characters.What makes Benjanun's work here a must-read... Interesting take on Chinese mythology. I'm rather ignorant on that topic so I enjoyed reading about it.I read some wikipedia articles on the characters that appear in these stories, and I saw that Sriduangkaew takes quite a liberty with some of the interpretations of them, but in her favor it works. Her approach makes them much more... The kind of writing that makes me want to say fuck it and pitch out everything I've ever done, because come on, it's desiccated rabbit droppings compared to this. Benjanun Sriduangkaew gets to make fun of bad authors and troll silly fantasy fans on the Internet because she is better than the rest of us, understand?
