![]() ![]() ![]() The nun has been in solitary seclusion for over a decade, and her earnestness is akin to a newborn when she emerges into this new, 'silent war'-torn era. Cho deftly weaves elegant prose, quite a few eyebrow-raising moments, and many thought-provoking themes throughout this story of a nun who joins a group of roving bandits who are much more than they seem. An underlying theme I took away is discovering your true self even though circumstances around you are in a constant state of change. Instead, it throws a massive curveball and tells a powerful story of identity and how it evolves across different people, customs, and lands. It seemed like it was going to lean into an action-oriented saga of black magic and banditry, bounty hunting and showdowns. The way that Zen Cho's new novella The Order of the Pure Moon Reflected in Water began was a major feint. ![]()
