c6twoman 's review for:
The Orphanage By The Lake
by Daniel G. Miller
I'm... disgusted.
I am truly in shock by how this book has so many good ratings. Firstly, you can very much tell that this book was written by a man, specifically a white man who has never met a person of color in his life. The book is filled with stereotypes on top of stereotypes. Some things were just put in here that weren't even necessary. It seems like he wanted to write the character as a relatable, strong woman, but he came off as misogynistic, racist, and flat out insulting... The MC is a Korean woman, and there are so many asian stereotypes here that I can't even count... not only that, but in the past, the main character was sexually assaulted and the way that he handles her trauma and the whole situation about being assaulted is disgusting. The way that this author handles people of color and women needs to be studied if it was up to me this man would never release a book again!
