A solid read exploring almost all the topics I love to think about the most; cancel culture, performative activism, racism, creative professions, no ethical consumption/creation under capitalism etc. etc. 

I think the only reason I haven't rated it a full 4 stars is just I was not especially horrified, appalled or challenged by the content of the book. It's a good start, and a solid read. I would be curious to see R.F. Kuang continue to explore similar themes in future works. Perhaps if I was newer to these subjets it would probably be more compelling. However, I already know capitalism be capitalising and white women be white women-ing.
