Yellowface: A Chilling Novel of Racism and Cultural Appropriation from the author of Katabasis

This was the first book written by R.F. Kuang that I have read and it was amazing. I've been in a bit of a reading dry spell, but I picked this up in the bookstore and physically could not put it down. I read the first four chapters before I decided to buy it, and it was worth it. I don't want to spoil anything, but I love the main character and how complex she it. It was awesome to hear how the writing and publishing community is from the perspective of an actual author.

Creative way to explore who gets to tell a story, racism, cultural appropriation. and power shifting. But then it diverts into this other plot line that I found frustrating. But overall a book that will keep me thinking.
