A review by cedence
Yellowface by R.F. Kuang
Did not finish book. Stopped at 27%.
Paused.
I liked some of it but it's also kinda boring. I don't want this to remind me of book twitter.
The unlikeableness of the main character is clearly intentional since this is satire. But I need more, something out of the ordinary or some more emotional stakes that feels like what happens actually matter to the main character where we aren't only told they do (or don't). It lacks feeling for me and I prefer more of that in the books I read.
I am still interested in finishing the book. It still got something about it that makes me want to turn the page. However, I have other books waiting that I will read beforehand.
