Zen Cho

In the tenth court of hell, spirits wealthy enough to bribe the bureaucrats of the underworld can avoid both the torments of hell and the irreversible change of reincarnation. It's a comfortable undeath ... even for Siew Tsin. She didn't choose to be married to the richest man in hell, but she's reconciled. Until her husband brings home a new bride.Yonghua is an artificial woman crafted from terracotta -- but that's not all she is. What she is may change hell for good. Who she is will transform Siew Tsin. And as they grow closer, the mystery of Yonghua's creation will draw Siew Tsin into a conspiracy where the stakes are eternal life - or a very final death.

the fact that this is only 47 pages long yet the story feels so rich in worldbuilding and complicated character dynamics is incredible. the writing style was so beautiful too. truly a delight to read. a beautiful mix of mythology, fantasy, and sci fi.

This was so interesting! I wish it was longer though, the writing and atmosphere were my cup of tea.

Videla sam da Zen Čo mnogo hvale na jutjubu i čula sam prvenstveno sjajne stvari za ovu novelu. Kad sam pogledala temeljnije o čemu se radi, zvučalo mi je fantastično i morala sam što pre da pročitam. 

Mislim da bi koristilo još jedno čitanje, jer ima info dump trenutaka koji nisu najsjajniji, posebno ako niste upoznati sa mitologijom koju Čo ovde pominje, ali sam koncept je bio super. Ima čak i nekih vrhunskih one-linera koji u sekundi promene sve u šta ste verovali i generalno me je pirjatno iznenadilo šta je moglo da se pročita u ovih pedesetak stranica.
