I read the German translation and, unfortunately, you can tell, while reading, that it's a translation, which takes you out of it a little.

I was initially impressed by the introduction of two women without being given a description of their breasts, though this was quickly rectified. Despite this, and some very uncomfortable sexual violence the book generally and ultimately depicted most of its characters pretty well in service of the story and inter-character relationships.

There are other uncomfy elements as well. Didn't love the depiction of the Marat. They were characterized in the beginning as less than human beasts, which was okay until actually interacting with them. Like, wow my guy, these are human people, maybe don't continue describing them like literal animals.
Isana as a character was not very believable for me. Spinster stereotype. Sorry, I just don't believe a capable, emotionally stable adult woman would be jealous of a 14ish year old.
