samanthand's review

Disgusting, dense, and pretentious. Was a struggle to even get to 150 pages.

bookishplantmom's review

I decided to give this a try but two things happened early on in my reading. 1: I did not like the way the audiobook is narrated (cadence, tone) and 2: it’s the rampant sexual violence for me. I should have checked trigger warnings and recommend people do so for sure. I looked at other reviews before making my decision to dnf and it seems issue number 2 continues throughout and I simply don’t have it in me to sit through hundreds of pages (20+ hours of audio) filled with repeated instances of horrific violence. Especially given that it seems much of it is gratuitous and unrelated to the plot (based on reviews I’ve read).

ehmannky's review

Listen, there aren’t a lot of things that truly can put me off a book and I’m not that squeamish with what I read but after

the hyena gang-rape of the protagonist that followed many other instances of sexual assault

I have decided that this book, however wonderfully written it may be, just is not for me.
