3.0 out of 5 stars
Great storyline.,
By "shevonne_ang" (Singapore) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Bondmaid (Hardcover)
Beginning of story is well-paced, exploring the interesting characters. But some issues were not adequately addressed like how Young master Wu felt towards his wife Li-Li since young til before and after their marriage, prior to her pregnancy. And his falling in love with Han happened so quickly and mysteriously, it almost seemed like the author was trying to avoid writing too much about it. The part about the sky-god raping the goddess was totally baffling. Still, the other parts of the story were captivating enough especially towards the end when Han suffered. The surprisingly tragical ending sorta made up for the earlier confusing parts.Recommended to those interested in the traditional chinese culture.

Good book-- definately worth the time,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Bondmaid (Mass Market Paperback)
I've never read anything by Lim before. I thought this was a good book and it was worth the time it took to get read. I'm definately going to pick up more books by this author. Although the ending was a but abrupt, it was an engrossing tale about a situation rarely written about.

An interesting story,
By Sophia (Singapore) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Bondmaid (Hardcover)
Catherine Lim has done it again where she constantly emphasize the reality Asians faces in the past and brings the character in her books to live. One would need to understand the Asian's superstitions in order to understand what is she trying to say. I must say that I was confuse at first with the "Goddess" she keeps emphasizing but later catch on to it. It is a book that describes the lives of bondmaid and also a dramatic love story that does not allow you to put the book down for a minute. An unpredictable story. It is one book that one should read to learn about the Asians culture and supersitions.
