Über diesen Titel
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.

The beginning of second book pulls you in immediately. You get back to Li-lin as you left her at the end of first book and she's eager to don't let the death of the little girl that died of flowers in her mouth be uninvestigated. So she begins with her search.
Li-lin is really growing in power and in her belief in herself. She uses the options she has and I was often surprised what ways she is willing to go and how much she will sacrifice.
The second book brings movement to the relationship between Li-lin and her father, but this is not the only relationship that slightly changes.
I that the third book is available soon.
The narrator has again done a great job.
Only the audio recording is very quiet so that I had to crank up the volume higher.
Great second book!
