r.f. kuang does it again. i am a big fan of her works and this is another masterpiece added to the oeuvre. aside from the horror aspect that i enjoyed despite it throwing me off, the themes of loneliness and the distinct problem of racism, prejudice, and bias in the publishing industry was well done.
if only you could see my annotations, it was all me being annoyed at juniper. she is meant to be unlikeable and over the top and i as an asian reader definitely wanted to reach into the book and shake her a couple of times.
