Review of Chezza Lee, “The Mid-Autumn Festival,” Luna Station Quarterly 59 (2024): 73-87 — Purchase online. Reviewed by Sara L. Uckelman.
“Immortality was boring,” this story opens up — a sentiment I can wholly get on board with (I’d rather die tomorrow than live forever), so from the start I’m predisposed to like what’s to come. With strong wuxia/xianxia influences clearly palpable, there was a lot to like in this short, compact story of a mortal who became immortal and then…tired of it. Sometimes, the simple pleasures of mortality are worth more than any amount of immortal bliss.
