A review by thecontrarybookworm
Raybearer by Jordan Ifueko

2.0

I really do not understand why this book is so hyped. I’ve been reading highly rated books lately, and I’m not impressed. I like some of the plot ideas, but the way the plot is set up is just horrible. Everything is chronological, and there are so many possible plot twists that are simply tossed to the reader in the beginning. There’s some really weird sexual, rape-y, incestual stuff, too, that is in the plot and never addressed. Also, there seemed to be some stereotypical depictions of East Asians in the world of Raybearer. Overall, I didn’t enjoy it at all.
