    Reader note

    These are all angst-filled novels. One example is "The Willow Tree by the Palace Wall," a historical fiction. It's the kind of story that's subtly angsty but very intense, without any organ harvesting. The protagonist is intelligent, and the supporting characters are also reasonably intelligent. These books have very fresh and appealing themes. I think they're all quite good. The protagonists are intelligent, the authors have good writing skills and logical thinking, the plots are innovative and rigorous, and the ideas are original. They're not bad books.
