June might be the most mortally contortive and cringe inducing character I've ever read.

There are definitely a couple of shots at Xiran Jay Zhao in here and they've landed imo 😂😂😂.

One of the things I am taking away from this book is that I, as a massive consumer of books, know frightfully little about the authors and publishing companies that produce them...

RF Kuang has succeeded in writing one of the most deeply unlikable, frustrating and frustrating narrators/MC I've read in literature. All while making the plot and themes extremely compelling.

I had no clue there was a Chinese Labour Corp in the British army in WW1! Or any Egyptian one prior for that matter!
