Medea by Eilish Quin
dark
sad
slow-paced
4.0
This was terribly sad. Medea suffered because of the God's ploy on Jason's heroic quest. Didnt know Aphrodite influenced her to fall in love with Jason. If she didn't im pretty sure Medea would have found her own way to escape her own father and pave her way to happiness.

The Reader by Bernhard Schlink

It was more philosophical than I expected. The musings about the trial is very thought provoking.

"Sorry. Sorry. Please don’t— I’m sorry.” Max starts sobbing.
Lowe turns to me. “Do you accept?"
"Accept . . . the spit?”
“His apology.”
“Oh."
This book had me laughing several times. Misery is freaking hilarious! There's a lot of profanity in here as well, which I hate, but I quickly forget about it because I find myself chuckling again.
And geez, a lot of reviewers said they're traumatized with the knotting and let me tell you, this is tame. Read omegaverse. Be educated. Explore. There's a whole new world out there.

Talking Animals by Joni Murphy

“The pig was blaming the world’s problems on fish, when fish were getting poisoned and eaten, and eaten and poisoned, by all the creatures on land who’d built their industries on sea exploitation.”
Clever and punchy commentaries on politics, capitalism, modernization, sea pollution and climate change. Cute animal puns. The conclusion was not that impactful though.

overdramatic. clunky metaphors. unlikeable characters but somehow the main character is still the most insufferable.
and theres a whole chapter of two 13 year old girls inserting a tampon and then one of the girls intentionally did not wash her hands. why? what does it add to the story?
too bad. i loved the idea. i mean, body horror, sapphic romance, mermaids. whats not to like? but this book is just not it. cringefest.
