1. John - 2/5 stars - I was expecting something more from "Liang and the Magic Paintbrush", but it fell short of my expectations. While the concept of a magic paintbrush sounds intriguing, the story itself felt underdeveloped and rushed. The character development was lacking, and I found it difficult to connect with Liang or feel invested in his journey. Additionally, the pacing of the story was off, with some scenes dragging on while others felt too hurried. Overall, I was disappointed by the execution of this book.
