★★★★☆ Stayed with me

I keep thinking about the ending. Yusuf Fairweather has a real gift for the small, true detail.

★★★★☆ Solid, with a few slow patches

Strong voice and great atmosphere, though the middle drags a little. Still glad I read it.

★★★★★ Absolutely loved it

I picked this up on a whim and finished it in two sittings. Ten Thousand Lanterns is warm, sharp and beautifully paced.
