I support women's rights but most importantly I support women's wrongs. Also polyam instead of a love triangle <3
however i think the writing is lacking and the world and character building just wasn't there esspecially i think the romace wasn't well developed. also it was marketed as a feminist read, which I don't really agree with. it kinda felt like a violent and shallow form of feminism to me. for example our fmc talks about how women annoy her and how much she hates being a women also all the other female characters either dies or like misogynistic so i think it could have been better in those aspects.
