an interesting thing to sample, but it's too dated and repetitive to normally read

Graphic: Sexual content
Moderate: Bullying, Infidelity, and Kidnapping
A lot of sexual jokes and innuendos. Some stories are violent and women are treated badly, but the women in the stories usually fight back. There are especially several stories of sexual encounters between nuns and priests, and tricking others into sex. The stories are 700 + years old. Most are entertaining, a few downright disturbing,, but it is mostly tongue in cheek. If you’re setting out to read this, you probably don’t care about the content warnings. It’s a fun book—a great look into a specific time, some memorable stories, but ultimately, not incredibly deep (that’s not to say it’s not worth it).almablui's review
