I had to force myself to finish this book. First, it was hard to follow what was happening. The first half of the book, I had no idea what the storyline was. Eventually I was tracking and there were a lot of interesting stories, characters, worlds, etc. But what made it very challenging to read/finish the book was the overwhelming amount of extremely graphic, often sexually violent scenes, along with overly sexualized content, involving all ages. So much extreme violence, sexual violence, sex/genitalia descriptions, etc. It was too much.

sapphire_mayo's review against another edition

A bit too dark/vulgar in language for me. I might have been able to carry on but nothing was really gripping me yet

2.0

Two ratings for this book. A very low rating for: rape, sodomy, profanity, beastiality and murders. Higher rating for excellence in audio narration and weaving story into story.

malimaan's review against another edition

i tried to like this book, but the general descriptions of women, genitalia, graphic rape and incest, as well as bestiality made this a book I just couldn't get done..
every time I thought about opening the book i started to feel dread because it just made me so uncomfortable. 
the writing itself is really complicated and often poetic, which I appreciated. in the end, however, neither the promising story nor the writing style was entirely to keep me interested enough to finish.

i feel like this book is a good book for some people but the graphic details were just too much to make it enjoyable for me.
