alouette 's review for:

Night Bus by Zuo Ma
3.5
hopeful mysterious relaxing slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

few of the stories had a narrative, they were more like an artsy adventure sequence, which is a shame because there were some thematic gems in there. the synopsis is a bit misleading (i wasn't even aware this was an anthology at first, not sure if i was supposed to be following characters from story to story or not) but it's spot on with the magical realism.
