I haven’t yet but I might not bother. It was kind of 50/50 if I was going to unhaul it or not anyway.

lol I just saw that this is a duology, but with the way it ended it really felt like a standalone. Now idk if I want to unhaul it or hang on to it till the sequel comes out in 2027...

Review of When They Burned the Butterfly by Wen-Yi Lee: 3.5⭐

The author definitely tried to cram too many things into a single book, but I still liked the exploration of 1970s Singapore and the all-girl gang fighting for survival in a period of modernization.

Front cover image of When They Burned the Butterfly by Wen-Yi Lee, featuring an illustration of a woman in a dark cheongsam looking at the viewer, her hand raised to her face and alight with fire as if in a threat. A red butterfly rests on her hand, and the lines of a butterfly tattoo partially covers her face.

This is a pretty solid historical fantasy exploring a postcolonial Singapore going through rapid modernization, and the gangs of its underbelly desperately vying for power and survival. The author had too many plot threads to really fit into this single book, and as a result, the first and second halves felt like entirely different stories. I liked both the slow exploration of this period of Singapore and the revenge-fueled carnage of the second part, but in the end, there was very little linking the mystery of Adeline's mom's death and Three Steel's colonization of the other gangs to bring all the plotlines neatly together. (review continues in next screenshot)

I also didn't really care about any of the characters besides Adeline and Tian, despite spending the first 200+ pages exploring the workings of the different gangs and Red Butterfly itself. On top of that, the romance between them also felt lacking and not quite reaching adult territory; the violence gets us there, but for some reason, their sex scene had to be fade to black?? And once the power struggle within Red Butterfly is settled, their romance grinds to a halt as the stakes get higher. I wish the author had leaned more into scenes where Adeline bonded with Tian and the other members of Red Butterfly to give more weight to her actions at the end.

But it is also at the same time I want my own mini library but alas I am limited to space and really do need to unhaul books that I know I won’t reread or read and deserve to go to people who will read them

My first bookish video in 2026 and it's a book haul. I really need to do an unhaul in 2026, but I think this is the last haul I'm going to do for a while on the channel. It'll be library or galley hauls after this until I can catch up with what I own.
