The bad: the amount of fluids and descriptions was both unnecessary and uncalled for.
The amount of times Jule describes the orc as ugly and hideous while begging him to fuck her was a bit ridiculous and comical to me as a reader. The amount of time it took for them to actually fall in love was a bit too drawn out in my opinion. The way orcs are exhibitionist and that was not a well-known fact to the humans- I felt like that should have been more well-known.
The good:
I surprisingly loved this book. The author writes beautifully and it had so many themes about discrimination and judgement of those who are different than us, that can be applied to real life. The plo twist near the end was one I genuinely did not expect. The steam was great, and it was consensual sex. Great character development and growth!
