Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review. I'm always very happy about an ARC and being able to give it a review! <3

The cover (the one with the face and the bat) is so beautiful and the blurb was also very appealing.

Unfortunately, the first half dragged on a lot, which made it a bit harder to stay with the book.

I thought it was good that the book also addressed how much Asian people were insulted and hated because of Corona. They were insulted and blamed badly back then.

But I still didn't find it exciting. Cora was very monotonous and it just dragged on too long.
