In Search of Rohan Chang by Lincoln Lee is an enthralling blend of fantasy and action/adventure set in the bustling streets of 1997 New York City. The plot revolves around Rohan Chang, an Asian American teenager grappling between school, home, and the voices he started hearing in his mind.
He starts questioning his sanity, but with time, he discovers unlocked powers and realizes that he needs to choose between the dark and the light. Amidst all the chaos created by the serial killer and the voices in his head, Rohan also focused on how to win the heart of his high school crush, Amayah.
Adding an intriguing twist, the plot incorporates time travel, transporting Rohan and Amayah to 1854 and 1980, where they help each other realize the meaning of selfless love. This element adds depth and complexity to their quest, allowing readers to explore different eras and witness the impact of their actions throughout time.
Will Rohan and Amayah navigate the complex choices between right and wrong? As they search for the elusive serial killer, where will their pursuit ultimately take them? Is Rohan truly the only one hearing the mysterious voices, or is he in denial of his own uniqueness? The consequences of his thinking and actions remain uncertain. To uncover the answers to these intriguing mysteries, one must delve into the pages of this captivating book.
The story not only delves into Rohan's personal journey but also tackles themes of racism, slavery, immigrants, and religious faith. As an Asian American author, Lincoln Lee weaves these elements into the narrative, shedding light on the challenges faced by the families of Rohan and Amayah, being Taiwanese and Puerto Rican.
The author's writing style is engaging and keeps the reader hooked with its fast-paced action and suspenseful moments. The Christian fantasy elements add an extra layer of depth to the story, offering thought-provoking insights into faith and self-discovery. The character development and plot twists are exceptional, keeping me engaged and eager to uncover what would happen next.
It is an immersive and captivating read that seamlessly blends genres, tackles essential themes, and takes readers on a thrilling adventure through time. It is a commendable debut novel by Lincoln Lee. I recommend it to fans of fantasy, action/adventure, and those interested in exploring the Christian faith and the immigrant experience through a diverse and relatable cast of characters.
