But Scarlett has plenty of dreams for herself, and makes her way from the maternity home in Southern California to San Francisco, where her intelligence and creativity become her means to survive and become successful.
Really?
I love nearly all of GGK’s books. Something went wrong. Start by marking “River of Stars (Under Heaven, #2)” as Want to Read: Error rating book. Even though I became really weary of all the "This is how legends begin," "The smallest of incidents can trigger huge events," "In later years x would often remember what happened then," and like pontifications the characters and sheer sweep of this kept me reading (skipping the stylistic curlicues after the first fifty or so) and provided a satisfactory reading experience---as his books are wont to do. It's a book that can be enjoyed by new readers as a standalone volume, but one which holds added significance for readers already familiar with the first. Those works are published and marketed as historical fantasy, though the author himself has expressed a preference to shy away from genre categoriz. Vanessa Hua’s novel A RIVER OF STARS is an eyes wide open look at why people long to come to America to realize their dreams.
Guy Gavriel Kay is a Canadian author of fantasy fiction.

Something in your turn of phrase, in the explanations that you seek out and find, the articles you share and how often you choose to go to bed early. "River of Stars" has it all: the fun factor of a beach read (NPR interview aptly characterized it as an "Asian-American, pregnant, Thelma and Louise"); the intellectual spark for a good book group discussion about immigration, assimilation, love, motherhood, friendship and forgiveness; plus evocative writing (many examples, but the description of a first encounter with McDonald's french fries is surprisingly delightful). Fierce and determined, resourceful and resilient, Scarlett Chen is an unforgettable protagonist you can’t help but root for. "

I can do all of this with almost everything he's written - but I can't do it with "River of Stars". A little slow to take off but definitely one of my favourite Kay books. And seriously, I kid you not, he shows the goddess mark on his back to prove to everyone how Special he is.
