Customer Reviews

A multilayered story of the horrors of colonization & the hungry ghosts it leaves.

A fantastic read that hooked its claws into me and had me craving more. There were times where it was like watching a train wreck about to happen. Definitely not a book for those who have a phobia of bugs, haha. I appreciated the interwoven stories of how the real horrors of colonialism impact the supernatural horrors within the house. Tran did an excellent job showcasing the alienation that happens when there’s a disconnect from one’s family culture and the frustration associated.

Pretty good!

3.75* I enjoyed this for the most part, I don't have a lot of cultural knowledge of Vietnam so when I was learning about Vietnam, I was in it to win it, baby! Certain elements felt a little clunky and didn't pay off like I think the author hoped but I still really enjoyed myself and overall this wasn't bad for a debut novel. This author will be one to watch!
