Hungry darkness, haunted guns, tunnels that move like snakes—the crystal mines of Medicine Rocks, Montana, are a place only the bravest and greediest dare. Discovered in 1866, the miraculous rock known as crystal quickly rose to become the most expensive substance on the planet, driving thousands to break the treaties and invade the sacred buffalo lands of the Sioux. But mining crystal risks more than an arrow in the chest. The beautiful rock has a voice of its own. A voice that twists minds and calls unnatural powers. A voice that turns men into monsters.

Publisher's Summary
It's the end of the 19th century. San Francisco's cobblestone streets are haunted, but Chinatown has an unlikely protector in a young Daoist priestess named Li-lin. Using only her martial arts training, spiritual magic, a sword made from peachwood, and the walking, talking spirit of a human eye, Li-lin stands alone to defend her immigrant community from supernatural threats.
But when the body of a young girl is brought to the deadhouse Li-lin oversees for a local group of gangsters, she faces her most bewildering - and potentially dangerous - assignment yet. The 9-year-old has died from suffocation...specifically by flowers growing out of her nose and mouth. Li-lin suspects Gong Tau, a dirty and primitive form of dark magic. But who is behind the spell, and why, will take her on a perilous journey deep into a dangerous world of ghosts and spirits.
With hard historical realism and meticulously researched depictions of Chinese monsters and magic that have never been written about in the English language, The Girl with No Face draws from the action-packed cinema of Hong Kong to create a compelling and unforgettable tale of historical fantasy and Chinese lore.

So where's the next book?
I was an early fan of The Girl With Ghost Eyes, even though I thought it was a little bogged down by exposition and that the plot kind of meandered at times. Even so, I loved the setting and wanted more. Well, in this book, all of that world-building pays off. We get both a deeper look at Chinatown, as well as a chance to step outside of it. Future plots are teased, past ones are called back. I finished this book wanting the next RIGHT NOW. So where is it?

Another Amazing Entry In The Series
As with the first book in this series, The Girl With No Face takes us deep into the Chinese-American world, and into the human soul. With the spirit of Miyazaki and the grit of Gangs of New York, this poignant story opens us up to myths we don't often get the chance to understand as Westerners. It lets us see through the eyes of a young woman of Chinese heritage in turn of the century America. And it makes us understand things both beautiful and terrible about the human spirit, as well as history. I'd never heard of the Coolie trade until I read this book, and realizing how much I still need to learn is eye-opening. This is at once a powerful story of redemption, a rollicking adventure, and a magical trip into the past. Hold on tight!

What a rush!
This story picks up momentum right away, bringing to mind the action packed films of the late 80s, bringing together thrilling themes of fighting for one's place in the world and the love of family, never once failing to remind you that while relying on others isn't weakness, to do things right you gotta be brave enough to do them yourself.
Beautiful!

Even better than the first book!
While the first novel in this series is a little shaky at the start, Boroson really finds their voice and hits a stride in this novel! The human characters are rich and dimensional, and the female protagonist portrayed so carefully, is fabulously engaging. The spirit world Boroson has created just sings with vivid imagery- and the incomparable Emily Woo Zeller has just the voice to bring this incredible universe to life! I love the blend of fiction and traditional Chinese, and it makes me hungry for more of the fantastic ancient stories we don’t even hear about in western culture. Buckle up for a much better ride than you think you paid for, because this story has some great things to unpack!! Thank you, M. H. For this incredible journey, but DARN YOU for leaving me hanging!!!!! I am (not so patiently but very very very excitedly) awaiting the next installment in this series.

The best of so many worlds...
Both the story and the narration wove together to create a truly natural feeling flow I didn't want to stop. I had worried the second book might have nothing left to say because the first one was so powerful. It didn't take long for that worry to evaporate! Some of the most difficult issues including family relations, race, gender, class, tradition, selfhood, and sacrifice are portrayed with such starkly simple and elegant lines, I found myself being able to view my own struggles with all these issues through a compassionate and clear lens. Meanwhile the story what's compelling, the characters were deeply engaging, and I wish so much there were more books by this author and more readings by this narrator. I wish we had more stories like this.

You define life or it defines you. In Shawn Speakman’s case, it was both. Lacking health insurance and diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2011, Shawn quickly accrued a massive medical debt that he did not have the ability to pay. That’s when New York Times best-selling author Terry Brooks offered to donate a short story that Shawn could sell to help alleviate those bills—and suggested he ask the same of his other writer friends. Unfettered is the result: An anthology built in order to relieve that debt, featuring short stories by some of the best fantasy writers in the genre.

Most of the time the Moontide Bridge lies deep below the sea, but every 12 years the tides sink and the bridge is revealed, its gates open for trade. The Magi are hell-bent on ruling this new world, and for the last two Moontides they have led armies across the bridge on "crusades of conquest". Now, the third Moontide is almost here, and this time the people of the East are ready for a fight... but it is three seemingly ordinary people that will decide the fate of the world.

Story
You define life or it defines you. In Shawn Speakman’s case, it was both. Lacking health insurance and diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2011, Shawn quickly accrued a massive medical debt that he did not have the ability to pay. That’s when New York Times best-selling author Terry Brooks offered to donate a short story that Shawn could sell to help alleviate those bills—and suggested he ask the same of his other writer friends. Unfettered is the result: An anthology built in order to relieve that debt, featuring short stories by some of the best fantasy writers in the genre.
