  • Plot- or character-driven? Character

  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes

4.0

the writing is immediately captivating from chapter 1 to the end I was not bored once, finished this in three days and it would have been faster if i hadn’t run out of listening hours on spotify (lol) 

r.f. kuang does a great job of slippery-slope seemingly innocent thoughts that spiral into racist thoughts / beliefs

the plot circles its tail a few times towards the end which wasn’t great, it felt like it should have ended like three times and the ending rly could have been any person and worked out the same way.
