The Night Tiger by Yangsze Choo

junyan's review against another edition

4.75

4.75/5 
Do I have dissatisfactions with this book? Absolutely yes.  The Chinese culture representation in this book is so shallow and sometimes inaccurate. The writing is a little confusing to me. Why 4.75 stars? Bc it has stepsiblings taboo romance (literally my favorite trope) and supernatural power elements and it DELIVERED.

A book set in the 1930s in Malaysia I believe. it is excellently written. The characters are well developed and interesting. You are left with questions at the end - was any of the characters a man eating tiger?

This is the second book I’ve read by the author, who is very good at getting you caught up in the Chinese supernatural, where it feels like at any moment you can slip between the two worlds by complete accident. I’ll say that I prefer her first novel, The Ghost Bride, as far as achieving that supernatural world creation. The romance in this book also fell flat for me and I felt it didn’t even need to happen. Not a match that I was rooting for. Overall, this was a great escape into 1930’s British colonial Malaya.
