There are too many racist tropes in the book for me to get through it. They don't serve a purpose in the book and don't need to be there. Along with that, there have been issues with the author coming for readers on social media for calling the book sapphic, due to the bisexual MC being in a sapphic relationship. I was willing to set that aside for the sake of the review, but the racism serves no purpose and is extreme and I can't get through it. I DNF'd the book. I hoped, after seeing it was being republished, that it had gone through some major editing and I'm disappointed to see that is not the case.
