allireadsmke's review against another edition
This was incredibly confusing for the first 20% of the audio. After that, I was just mildly confused for the next 20% until I decided to put this book down.
Sex is front and center in the book from basically the beginning. Abusive sex, loving sex, incestuous sex, raping servants, all kinds of variations of pairings and groups of people having sex. From what I can tell, this appears to be the *point* of the book and central to the plot. Because besides drifting from sexual relationship to sexual relationship, I could never tell what Essa was doing or why.
BUT I love the narrator's vocal inflection and accent. On normal speed, I actually get a little lost in her voice and forget to pay attention to the actual story. If this book IS you cup of tea, then you will enjoy the audio as well.
