naechan's review against another edition
2.5
There was an annoying amount of misogyny and women hating, not just from the male characters, but the narrative itself. Wendy is this virginal, innocent and pure creature who is secretly yearning to be fucked hard and that makes her special. Meanwhile all other women in this book are superficial, evil and vapid. They just jealous of her and they don’t act like people at all, but like caricatures of themselves.
It’s not the worst thing I have read, but it feels like wasted potential.

That said, I loved it. I read it over and over. It's pretty dark at some points, so be warned, but the writing is good and i enjoyed the villain not turning into a hero for once.
