The writing is done well.
But I almost DNF halfway through because the sex and sensuality is graphic and there's SO MUCH of it. Also so much unnecessary descriptive violence towards animals and people. I don't feel like this book was necessary and I wish I hadn't wasted my time and just read a synopsis or something.
