I enjoyed this, it was dark and twisted and filled with clever world building and well built characters.
The plot is brilliant, almost everything falls into place as the book draws to a close.
However, the constant breast imagery and a fixation on virginity etc was a little disconcerting and distracting at times. I want to benefit of the doubt though and say it was maybe an element of the dark tale to make you squirm.
