After reading The Last Nude and loving it, I was surprised to see that TW only gave The Teahouse Fire three stars on GoodReads. Now that I’ve finally made my way through it, I understand.
There were a lot of problems with this one — it’s really long, the storyline is less than plausible, the ending was a lot far-fetched (and even worse, unnecessary.) I wanted to really love it, and I did love parts of it. Cut 100 pages or even 50 pages and change the epilogue drastically and this would have been a great book.
