Reading project, week ending 9 June 2024

What have I read this week? It’s late, sorry!

Yellowface by Rebecca F. Kuang

This is a novel about a woman named June who steals her dead friend’s unpublished manuscript and publishes it as her own. I found this really interesting, although it gets a bit meta towards the end and I’m not entirely sure what the “truth” is, although I think that’s part of the point. I would definitely read more by this author.

Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

This is a fantasy novel about a young woman named Casiopea who rescues a god trapped in her grandfather’s house and goes on a quest with him to regain his power. I really enjoyed this; the characters and world-building were fascinating and it’s a part of the world I don’t know that much about. I would definitely read more by this author.
