4.0

so i went into this as a new reader thinking the premises sounded interesting. and i ended up reading probably the most taboo thing i’ll ever read!

all of that said, the writing was beautiful despite the disgusting and nasty things it described. each person was a full character, each season had its own feeling, and i could picture this entire book in my head. but i often had to grimace at descriptions because whew this is not for the faint of heart.
