Spoiler
the slut-shaming in this book is off the charts and the sexual assault/false rape accusations are used as devices to support a slut-shaming narrativemariebrunelm's review against another edition

Though some of those spoilers might give you pause, this book truly doesn't describe them in any graphic way and its always in a conversation about how they are wrong. This book delves more into power dynamics amd the abuses from those in power, but it's not in a way that sits in the gruesome. This is why I put them under minor.pokeybear1's review against another edition

darklings's review against another edition
despite being a character-driven book imo, the mystery is as much of a crux, which wouldn't be a problem if i didn't find it to be predictable. 10/10 for distinctive characters and the immersive world tho. i would continue but i ultimately think that this is the kind of book that's gonna end up being a 3 star read, which given how my reading year is going and the amount of books that i've given 3 stars, i'm not really looking for.
