The thing I love about RF Kuang is that her books are different from each other and also if you didn’t like yellowface then try babel or the dragon republic. You can’t go into one of her books expecting it to be topically like her other books. The only thing that I’ve found to be similar are overarching societal themes like colonialism and racism and lack of/limited diversity within different spaces of society.

I really enjoyed The Prison Healer when I read it a couple years ago. I think how I interpreted Kiva's character was really as someone completely naive and traumatized by the context of her upbringing and surroundings. She has nothing left to lose and everything to gain from the blind faith of being saved. She's not a strong or outstanding protagonist, but I appreciated her in how normal and human she was as a character. Definitely winging it.

But the book also counteracts the idea that she's naïve by constantly telling you that she has plans and she's just so jaded from being in this prison. Not to mention she's been [spoilers] the whole time, she's always known more than she lets on, she manipulates the people around her, and she also uses that knowledge to tell the Warden-- which in turn negatively impacts everyone around her? Traumatized? maybe. But, per the book, not naïve.
@hoopesie

Naive: showing a lack of experience, wisdom, or judgement. She may know more than she lets on, but that doesn't make her smart or wise and if anything, those decisions highlight her naiveté. I think this becomes more clear especially in the following two books.

I kind of agree with the fact that the first Prison Healer book falls flat compared to the other two and it’s a little drawn out, but I still loved the series and Kiva so so much! I think that her being ‘helpless’ in the first book makes sense because she doesn’t believe in herself yet, she’s has found power within herself, but during the rest of the series she slowly becomes stronger and more confident. And also, I love that even at the end of the third book she’s still a kind, soft, sympathetic character, I think that’s her strength❤

Your videos ❤ I honestly didn’t enjoy Yellowface much but I found the writing itself so boring. Sure it was meant to be written like a comedy, but I’ve read a million comedies which writing that is miles better. It just wasn’t very insightful and the critiques were so surface level. It wasn’t super funny to me either. I felt like I was reading a Twitter thread. I truly believe RF Kuang is very talented and very smart (I adore Poppy War) and this book read like she wrote it quickly. Also I really didn’t feel like she attacked herself - in fact I felt the opposite. Sure Athena reeks of self-insertion and she’s flawed, but using awful characters to make criticism of Athena’s writing which have been moved to Rebecca herself felt like trying to discredit those who have criticised her by proxy!

Dark of the West is "fantasy" but only because it's not our world. There's no magic, but it's very WWI-esque with fighter pilots. There's political intrigue and war and forbidden romance. The characters are SO well done - one of my favorites!

As you mentioned, you enjoyed the worldbuilding so you might like the medoran chronicles better (its abt a girl at a fantasy school, sort if like in harry potter almost) as it has the worldbuilding and of course similar writing style but the main character Alex is much more headstrong and she actually does things for herself, unlike Kiva.

Useless ordeal scenes lol I feel like kiva isnt the wisest when it comes to her decisions. Theres a lot of scenes in the book where i was like ‘what the heck!’. Her decisions doesnt make sense. She found out about the real story of torvin and realized that the rebels foundation were built on a lie but she still asked for the dagger ad it will help the rebel. Like what?!?!

Prison Healer Trilogy is one of my favorite trilogies and I don't usually disagree with you on books but this one I do. Kiva's overallgrowth would not have hit as hard had the first book NOT been the way it was. Plus the time spent in Zalindov why would we care about what happens at the end of book 2 if we didn't have book 1. I very much appreciate Kiva's character and felt like as far as YA female leads she showed SIGNIFICANT growth across the board - finding her voice, standing up to her family, learning about choices, and all of that. But that's me. It's too bad that you didn't see that but that's the beauty of stories and what we all take away.

I've been reading a ton too. Library new shelf keeps yanking me in with new nonfiction stuff. One thing I'm noting about R.F. Kuang is her ability to lure people in and then suddenly make them uncomfortable. Like she makes her antagonists, June, quite relateable and then you start to wonder if it's because you have some latent sympathies for the racist stereotypes. But it's so,so good. And a dragon book is always welcome!

Garden of the Cursed was such a fun time! I'm glad I picked it up based on your recommendation. I'm wondering if you would be interested in the Book that Wouldn't Burn (note: there is going to be a second book). It's been such a dark horse book for me this year. I adored it!

When you started saying the Stanford fish guy seemed like a happy go lucky dude I knew it wouldn't last 😅 ain't no way you become the president of a university, especially in those days, by being a happy go lucky dude

The prison is a kingdom??? 🤔 that’s just asking for trouble. Who made this decision? The math is not mathing. That advisor should be fired. Off with his head! 😂

I felt the same way about Dark Shores. I won't be continuing the series. I just got kinda bored.

Interesting to hear your thoughts on the Prison Healer. I was planning to not finish the series after reading the first one, but now I might have to give it a go if you say the 2nd and 3rd books are better. The first book just dragged on so much I was too daunted to keep reading the series.

I am 100% with you about Dark Shores. There was too much being packed into the story that the core plot was lost. I found the characters to be flat too. It was all a jumble mess, really. The Bridge Kingdom was a better book in comparison. 🙂

I think a better version of Fourth Wing is Novice Dragoneer by E.E. Knight.

I read that rk kuang has said that the Asian woman in the yellow face is not supposed to be her own self-insert and that she's pretty uncomfortable with the comparison. The character is supposed to be criticism of a type of oppressed person, specifically ofc type of Asian, but I think it's meant to be applicable more broadly too, that yes does face racism, but instead of working with the community and using her success despite the racism to uplift others, she pulls the ladder behind her and focuses on her own success. So it's the type of person that RF Kuang criticises in her own community and like in reality she's very much supportive of collective action and not individual solutions to racism
