tectonixduchess's review

Book crossed the line of pedophilia and called it “testing womanhood”. Absolutely not.

Esté libro suele estar recomendado en foros de fantasía. No entiendo como se llegó a publicar siquiera.
La calidad de la narración es pésima y resulta imposible entender como funcionan y donde están los diferentes mundos y países que se mencionan.
Muchos de los eventos que ocurren parecen escritos por un adolescente intentan escribir sobre ciertos temas (incesto, violación, etc.) y cometiendo errores garrafales a cada paso que da.

Fuck absolutely everyone who kept recommending this pile of pedophilic, slavery-apologist trash to me. Do not read this book. It does not less horrifying as it goes on. Anne bishop used to be a fav author of mine, no longer.

wemily0's review

This book has way to many references to pedophilia, rape, and incest for me to even try finishing it.

I loved another series by this author so I wanted to try another by her. I don't know how this was even published! Everything from violence to child rape is covered. This was just horrifying and I don't recommend anyone read this.

I never hate read anything, but by 50% into this book and I hated everything about it. How did this book become such critical acclaim for essentially being nothing more than sexual torture and rape porn? The one redeeming factor is nothing is explicit. Thank God for small miracle, right? That said, I liked Surreal. And maybe Cook. Daemon can get shaved then broken.
