giving this a perfect 3 because i have no idea how to rate this fucking book
this book haunted me for months much like a family ghost that has served the women of my family for centuries with an alternately seductive and disturbing appeal, but is mostly just sort of lingering ambiently not really doing anything but annoy me
any review will warn you at least half of this 1000+ page book is dry ass Talamasca files. and then there’s some weird shit and some gross shit and some interesting shit and some bewildering shit and its mostly extremely gradual building tension and foreshadowing dripping from the ceiling. and then basically every content warning you can imagine happening in a period of like 100 pages and a kind of horrific haunting slightly beautiful conclusion. anyway this book was insane read at your own risk and content warnings on so many levels but the main ones being incest, rape, cnc, racism, gore. also going from vampire chronicles sex rules (AKA vampires can’t have sex because they all have ED) to this did give me some severe whiplash. on some level i really enjoyed the slow build of everything and the kind of audacity of the pacing being as all over the place as it was. on another level i had to read many awful things with my own gay eyes. have fun be traumatized
