I hated the main character… and honestly, everyone else too, and that’s why this book was so good. My husband recommended this book to me and Im seriously glad he did! This book is unlike anything I read before.
We follow Juniper, an unsuccessful author who steals her semi friend/enemy Athena’s manuscript after Athena dies in a tragic accident. She makes a few changes and sends it to her agent and into publishing like it’s her own.
This was fast paced, and although Juniper was a horrible character, I also believe Athena wasn’t that great either. Every character was kind of horrible in their own way. We even see her whole publishing team, who seem to not question her legitimacy at all, which was wild to me.
This was my first R.F. Kuang book, and although The Poppy War still scares me, after this I feel like I might finally be ready.
This book was messy, problematic, and so entertaining. It deals with racism, privilege, and a behind the scenes look at what may happen in the publishing industry.
