doesn’t get any higher cause i did enjoy reading it and it wasn’t boring but there’s only so high i can rate a book which profits off of incest and hurting women. and i get that it’s mimicking historical attitudes but it also sucks to read that much sexism. very strong characters tho, they’re all so unique and interesting and i did enjoy reading it i just wish that these topics weren’t such a casual addition to the books
