If you crave a 90’s Mummy, Jungle Cruise, Jumanji, Lara Croft, or Indiana Jones type of vibes, this book has it. Fun adventure but does a great job at pointing out the major flaws of YT people “discovering” any BiPOC history and using it to turn a profit or putting it in a museum. It would be a 5 star read if it wasn’t for one thing, the LMC calling the LFC “princess” constantly (she was a feminist so I’m certain this was meant to be a cutesy joke, but it just came off as uncomfortable and towards the end of the book, it just made me cringe every single time I heard it.)
Graphic: Genocide, Self harm, Fire/Fire injury, Cultural appropriation, and Colonisation
Moderate: Animal death and Blood
Minor: Death
