Hard to rate this one, since it wasn't the right choice for me. I expected gore and nasty things happening (physically and emotionally), but I misjudged what it would really be like.
The first chapters were good, suitable to my taste. Already setting the tone of the book, quite trippy and, yes, irreverent. But as the story progressed, it became too much for me, especially as we met the Sisters living in the forest. The humour became too much, the descriptions of body parts became too much, and the way the Sisters living in the Pamogo Forest thought about femininity and their reaction weren't something I wanted to continue reading.
Still it has to be said that the writing is good, very easy to read, and the characters have quite a good sense of nuance, which is always something I'm looking for in fiction.
