Why read it?
1 author picked The Thousand Crimes of Ming Tsu as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A new Western novel that already feels classic in its ready use of all the key elements of the genre.

Intriguing fantasy elements are found in Ming’s Chinese guide, The Prophet, and in the circus performers with whom Ming travels across the harsh Western landscape. A wonderful read!
From Julie's list on set in the weird Wild West.
