I'm not going to read this book and I don't think I ever will. 
 I'm sick of the white saviour narrative. And the book portrays Native Americans/Asians as savages and perpetuates all the stereotypes surrounding Asians. As an Asian myself, this just makes me unbelievably angry. I genuinely hate the "almond-shaped eyes" description - this is arguably the biggest pitfall for white authors. (I've never seen any Asian or non-white writers use this description. Just a thought.) Rule of thumb: never use food-related terms to describe POCs. Plus, not all Asians have almond-shaped eyes. I'm still waiting for ignorant whites to actually realise that?? 
 Descriptions aside, I've seen that this book purely romanticizes colonization. And I hate it. I risk sounding unbelievably petty here, but when I talk about colonization, I'm talking about years of blood and war, and the centuries that my people fought for to gain independence. Almost all the Asian countries have been colonized at some point by white people. How would you feel if a foreigner came to your land, rich with its unique ethnicity and diversity and culture, and trampled all over it and forced his own culture down your throat? Pillaging and destroying and killing? I cannot count on my fingers the number of Asian countries that the mark of colonization has been left on. Meanwhile, it's a well-known fact that white people have colonized just about everywhere in history. Ya'll know that even America had indigenous tribes before Columbus came along. All your people have done throughout history is destroy and raze. 
 To the author, Keira Drake: stop dehumanising our entire culture with your opinions. Asians are well-educated and sophisticated people. We are not savages. Our countries are producing countless intelligent young people who are winning international olympiads and competitions. Take those outdated opinions and shove them right up your ass because no one wants to listen to them. I may only be one person, sure, and maybe everyone else disagrees with me and I might even get hate, but I've got the right to call out problematic stereotypes and issues surrounding MY culture. I'm not going to waste my money and time on this book at all. I could be using my money to support diverse/ownvoices authors.
