Book Review: "Yellowface" by R F. Kuang
R.F Kuang's novel was introduced to me as I had heard about it through the book club run by Reese Witherspoon. It sounded as though it was going to be a novel dedicated to exposing the ironies, pitfalls and stupors of the writing world and publishing industry, fleshing out all of the toxicity that lies beneath the surface. I was right to a degree. It does go into the lives of these unlikeable middle class nonsensical characters who have no understanding of real life. However, I found myself expecting the writing to be something more. With name-dropping, abrupt references to social media that come out of nowhere and too many characters with the same sort of voice - I can honestly say that the concept of the book is brilliant and the deeper meaning has been hit on the head. However, the attention to detail is poor and the narrative voice is all over the place.

The Youngest Prince
Even though I was running from my attackers in the dark, desolate forest, I couldn't resist the allure of a half-opened door. I found this a mystery; I didn't expect this. I think that's just how magic works - there's always an element of the unknown. My resilience fueled my desire to explore what lay beyond. I left the door open as a sign when I entered, but it closed on its own, so there was no turning back.
