Asa: The Girl Who Turned Into a Pair of Chopsticks was a strange trilogy of stories in some ways: strange but fascinating. They were certainly thought-provoking pieces, even if they pushed the boundaries of believability beyond those of general magical realism. As such, I feel they will likely divide readers into love-hate positions, as if the fantasy elements don't appeal or work for a reader, they could simply view the stories as silly and miss the underlying messages and themes. Based on this book, I would be keen to read more from this author in the future. I am giving it four stars.
