Hello!

1) You had me at "strong women"! I definitely appreciate this recommendation, and I'll be adding it to the top of my reading list. The style being a mix of Hong Kong gangster film and a political drama is especially intriguing, but I feel like I could get a lot out of the way the book touches on race, but also how violence, anger, and power can manifest differently. Thank you so much for the recommendation! I am currently reading two books right now, but I'll try to slip it in into my next cycle of reading.

2) Okay, so I LOVE that the main character is a monster hunter. That's super cool, but I really love the development of using her cultural heritage to fight. I'll definitely be putting this on my list, but I may need to dive in a little deeper into researching this book due to the implications of rape. However, I can't not ignore how interesting the premise of using one's cultural heritage to fight against threats, especially being a monster hunter. This sounds like another book that is super intriguing in the way that it is written, but opens the doors for more thought-provoking moments. Thank you for the recommendation! I might need to put this on my list for a rainy day / when I'm up for it, but it sounds incredibly interesting.
