Before reading this, I've only thought of the erotica genre as something you read for the sole purpose of getting off. So it was such a welcome surprise to read this atmospheric story. I really appreciate the thoughftulness in the writing and how sex was used as a means to explore the characters' psyche and the church's obsession with violence that borders on fetishization. This was really interesting for me because the writing was really sensual, yet it didn't evoke arousal because of the context so I was able to contemplate about its subject matter more.
