This author isn’t like other girls she parallel thinks herself into writing wanton conspiracy theories as plot points 🤪
Even if you out the blood libal, antisemitism, rape, lack of consent, and clear dog whistles aside…It’s just not well written! But also like why the fuck would you put any of that aside??!?! The characters lack true depth, make choices that go counter to their backstory and development (which them gets written off as some primal instinct they unlock in each other, and the pacing and plot felt unplanned and like things were shoehorned in or dropped into the plot to suit random whims.
Listen I’m all here for everyone having their smutty good time and not into yucking other people’s yum but there has to be a line y’all. And this just ain’t it. I even read the whole thing just to give it a fair shake it’s just soooo bad.
