I don't care if it's fiction, writing a 13yo as some kind of nymphomaniac with adult male "victims" who just can't stop themselves is disgusting.

I am a hater at this point & I still have one more book to read. If you don't absolutely despise Michael by the end of the first few chapters, I am judging you. I find myself rooting for Lasher because he's a weird baby man punting incest bourgeois uteruses into the sun in hopes of furthering soft spot babyman kind & their unquenchable mommy milk fetish & I can never take anything seriously again. The noise I made when I read the chapter of newborn Emaleth banging an old dude for milk was so shrill it likely couldn't be detected by human ears. The only sympathetic character in this book emerges from a backstory fraught with casual racism & xenophobia all to immediately start a relationship with a 13 year old girl as a man in his thirties. Put me in the ground. I am tired.

This book is not for the faint of heart. There is so much questionable content here, which is really just a continuation from the first book, but at least we have answers now as to why the incest and the pedophilia was normalized. Anne Rice, you had one messed up mind.  I mean, just look at my content warnings, lol.
