When I first got this book, I wanted to love it, and the more I kept reading the more I wanted to hate it.
Let me clarify that the monster lore in this book is very interesting, I was basically glued to my Kindle for the last few chapters as more and more things got revealed but there is one glaring issue with this book.
The sheer amount of violence against women.
There is so much rape and sexual assault that may make sense with the setting but overall cheapens the experience of the book. I fear a big reason for this is that the women in this book don't feel like characters, they have no depth and almost no agency, they don't have motivations and compared to the men they don't have real personalities either.
