Wen-yi Lee
概要
Return to a city of warring gangs, blazing fire, and fading gods in the sequel to Wen-yi Lee’s acclaimed adult fantasy debut—a fierce historical fantasy that reads like Silvia Moreno-Garcia meets Fonda Lee, with the feverish intensity of R. F. Kuang’s Poppy War trilogy.
Death cannot stop love—or change.
Singapore, 1975: A city in remaking. Rivers scourged. Cemeteries dug up. Islands moving between ships from a fallen Saigon. Nothing stops progress–except the vessel of a fire goddess, who wants to bring back the dead.
Iris Yen Wan, haunted and homeless, uses her ghosts to locate corpses for a gravedigger. Then she stumbles upon an apartment where a girl with butterfly tattoos has been preserved for two years. When Iris goes near, the corpse's eyes open. Now Adeline Siow, the madly grieving Madam Butterfly, is offering Iris a room, hoping that her murdered lover will wake again.
But Iris’s new home comes with strange and bloody strings. Shapeshifters and girls with fire follow Iris in the streets. A death god’s resentful son visits every night. In the industrial heart of the city, a crucible burns where godless men kill to touch magic once more.
And within the haunted apartment, a dangerous attraction stirs amidst the perpetually burning candles. With it grows the fear that Ang Tian might never truly come back.
Or worse, that she might—and bring something inhuman along with her.
批評家のレビュー
Praise for When They Burned the Butterfly
“With its heart-pounding action and vivid imagery, this book will have you hooked from the first word to the last.” —NPR
"When They Burned the Butterfly will take the breath out of your chest and replace it with fire. Wen-yi Lee has written a dark riot of a novel replete with jealous gods, human cruelty and incandescent desire."–USA Today bestselling author Nghi Vo
"In When They Burned the Butterfly, fierce girls wrestle with mysterious gods in the early days of a new nation. This stylish, gritty sapphic fantasy weaves a slow-burn romance that smolders with tension, building to an explosive conclusion that will leave readers breathless."–Zen Cho, award-winning author of Sorcerer to the Crown.
"Led by a complex yet compelling heroine, and set amidst the glitz and grit of 1970s Singapore, Lee's sweeping tale is unabashedly vibrant and original."–Sunyi Dean, bestselling author of The Book Eaters
"Lee weaves a dazzling tale of post-colonial identities, dangerous magic, and women ferociously carving their place in a world that rejects them. Burning with equal amounts of fury and tender, contemplative moments, this is a definitive must-read for years to come."–Amy Leow, author of The Scarlet Throne
"A truly cinematic novel."—Library Journal (starred review)
“A breathtaking combination of character-driven historical fiction and urban fantasy… A fiery story of love, gang violence and magic… Will leave readers burning to get their hands on more of Lee’s work.”—BookPage (starred review)
"Fans of R.F. Kuang's The Poppy War (2018) and its morally grey protagonist will enjoy Adeline's journey into the fire, and fans of historical fantasy will love the rich, complex setting in 1970s Singapore." —Booklist
