- I wasn’t the biggest fan of the writing style, sometimes voice felt indiscernible between stories. The first person points of view didn’t help.
- some of the modernized takes and dialogues felt tonally awkward to read
- I think some could’ve used more depth, it was getting repetitive
- there were a few strong ones I really enjoyed though like the Iphis one and Eurydice
- and I like how the women are characterized and the tone is allowed to be raw and angry
- I was left uncomfortable by many but that also is the point so decently executed but my enjoyment really fluctuated with the stories

Edit a few weeks later: the more I think about it, the more that the equation of sexual violence and vulnerability to cis womanhood in this book feels gender essentialist and slipping into TERFdom...
