It was a bit hard for me to get through, i didnt like the writing style much and (this is the nicest way i can say this) its very obviously written by a straight man. This would all be fine but
i have trouble getting over the fact that spider raped rosie and then they live happily wver after
i like the concept and honestly if woman weren't written how they are in the book id probably rate it a star higher. I dont believe the author intended to fall into misogynistic tropes but growing up in a sexist society he probably did it subconsciously. No hate just my opinion
