4.5
This monster romance was a mix of funny, harrowing, and touching, as a monster romance should be! Mild spoiler for queer rep: both the protagonist (the monster) and her human love interest are ace! There’s a strong theme of “humans are the real monsters” which… could have been more subtle, but at least the overtness read as a stylistic choice and not just blundering. The villains are increasingly absurd. The plot kept me engaged and frequently surprised. Shesheshen, our protagonist, is wonderfully likable and disgusting at the same time. The ending wasn’t as strong as I’d hoped, but it was… interesting, ha.
