Okay so, book-reading speedrun record? I got the book in London yesterday and finished it today, despite working for most of the day lol.

I'm kinda torn about this book for a couple reasons. It was very... easy to read? Idk the word count but I haven't had this easy of a time burning through pages since I read my horse books as a kid. However, the themes and sometimes very detailed gorey descriptions puts it far from a pre-teen book in my opinion, so I'm kinda unsure where this fits in. We learn that Luke is/looks "no more than twenty" but I don't even remember what the main character's age is.

Amazing take in a classic fairytale. It was really dark with so many twists and turns. Love every minute of it!

Profoundly mid. Feels kind of rushed, but it is redeemed by the eighty pages I was absolutely captivated by. Would've like a story just on the "true" Cinderella story, but eh. Maybe I'm just particular.

Genuinely, why does Manford have to kiss people to take their life energy. What purpose does it serve other than to make him disgusting. As much as I hate it, though, I do simultaneously understand why, as a metaphor for the marriages being a drain on women, but girl. Girl. I hated it.

Ugh, whats with all the man hate. 

As a feminist, I get wanting to tear down the patriarchy, but why is every man (except for the queer ones) in this book a misogynistic abusive ass? We know better than this. 

Also, the mc’s perspective on anything and everything is whiny and unintelligent… gross
