Wow. That's all I can really say about this book.
I was loaned a copy of this book from a friend. I would never have picked up a book like this if it had not been recommended to me.
I enjoy media with creepy motifs. However, I like my creepy media with a hefty side of hope and humor.
This book has no hope or humor, but I didn't dislike this book. Conversely, I didn't like this book. It definitely made me feel a certain way
I don't know what the author was trying to say, but it's clear that she was trying to say something. The only theme I could possibly pin down is," Humanity uses God to justify their own thoughts. God is a human creation"
There are way too many trigger warnings and plot points in this book to examine individually in such a short review. So, instead I have invited a co-author to write this part of the review. Take it away Stefon!
2022 hottest book is Lapvona. It has everything: a
Medieval fiefdom, politics, magic, an old woman gouging her eyes out, lambs, rape, love, medical masturbation, religion, bad parents, adult breastfeeding, and poison.

The writing is *immaculate* the imagery is….. profoundly grotesque. Just as the author intended, so, mission accomplished. But at what cost, man. Otessa, you good? 5 stars for execution, but 1 star for content = 3 stars. Oof.
