Profoundly mid. Feels kind of rushed, but it is redeemed by the eighty pages I was absolutely captivated by. Would've like a story just on the "true" Cinderella story, but eh. Maybe I'm just particular.
Genuinely, why does Manford have to kiss people to take their life energy. What purpose does it serve other than to make him disgusting. As much as I hate it, though, I do simultaneously understand why, as a metaphor for the marriages being a drain on women, but girl. Girl. I hated it.
Graphic: Animal death, Homophobia, Misogyny, and Sexism
Moderate: Adult/minor relationship, Death, Domestic abuse, and Sexual assault
