My Thoughts
“Bat Eater and Other Names for Cora Zeng” by Kylie Lee Baker is a crossover of fantasy with discovering yourself.
Sometimes, the pacing slows down in places; some characters should be more profound for their stories to be impactful. At the same time, Cora’s tale of her relationship and the odd little secrets of her past can sometimes be a touch redundant.
The writing is colorful and colorfully vivid. It puts pictures in your mind and pictures of how things are. But the dialogue could be a lot better (at times), as could some of the twists and turns, which didn’t come as much of a shock to anyone who’s read many books in this genre.
Last is Bat Eater and Other Names for Cora Zeng, an admirable effort with charmingly creative moments. Overall, it is a good read, though a bit overbearing with the market and sometimes with the fantasy genre.
Thank you to HTP (Harlequin Trade Publishing) and NetGalley for allowing me to read and review this book.
