First off, I don't care for books that use a lot of swear words and this book uses quite a few.  That being said, it was definitely a creative take on the story and there was something about it that kept me engaged to the end. Despite this, I did not find any of the characters relatable and I felt the author took the feminist direction of the story a bit too far.  Overall, this book was not my cup of tea. But if you are into Sapphic fairytales with a lot of girl power and you don't mind minimal character development, you will most likely enjoy the book.
