In the Vanisher's Palace
I didn’t catch that this is a Beauty and the Beast retelling with Vietnamese themes and a sapphic vibe. Perhaps that’s a bit of brain fog from recovering from an illness, it certainly isn’t the book’s fault.
I enjoyed how rich each line is in the book, it felt well crafted.
I understand who the beast is supposed to be, but after finishing I still wonder if there could be more than one? I suppose it depends on how you approach the piece.
Overall I enjoyed it.
