3.0

This was a fun little novella featuring scenes centered around a weekly all-(humanoid) species sex party. I thought the queerness and diversity of body types, genders, and creature types was very fun. 

Overall, the writing was just okay. The dialogue was a bit awkward, and the narrative prose clunky. I was hoping to *feel* more out of this book, and while I did enjoy the erotic scenes, they didn’t excite me. My primary feeling was a bit underwhelmed, and a little awkward. 

Sexual encounters don’t have to have any sort of romantic meaning, but I was hoping for more meaning to be made for each character in terms of what the encounter meant for them in the moment, whether that be fun, relief, intimacy, etc.
