This was a buddy-read for me—the only reason why I did not immediately dnf this book after 200 pages.
It's so wordy and slow and boring. Fancy words and fancy sentence structures might be nice from time to time, but not to this extend. It was so tiring and my attention wavered frequently, making the whole experience rather unenjoyable.
The story wasn't quite it either. Lots of insta love and betrayal and nothing really of value. The message was repetitive and nothing new or revolutionary. I was expecting rich feminist commentary and some of it was good, not gonna lie, but most of it was just the same "men suck" and "gods suck" and so forth, as if everybody wasn't already aware.
Deeply disappointed.
