The worldbuilding was a bit sloppy, but interesting, but plot and characters? Icky. Like, really bad.Â
Not only did it have tropes such as forced marriage and hints of pedophilia (as soon as the guy was always called a âman with his big hands; like a father; etcâ and the woman described as âgirl with small hands; being generally very young and clueless and in need of constant helpâ) I had a bad feeling and boy wasnât I wrong.Â
I donât know why so many people like a book which is filled with sexism, weird stereotypes, classism, racism and basically everything you donât want to read about when it is normalized (or rather being glorified, because you just couldnât catch a break when reading. It just kept coming)
I do feel like I need to apologize to the person I am now that I read this book because it wasnât pleasant and I feel like I need to unlearn all of the very harmful stuff I just read about.Â
The writing styleâs not bad though, I could have liked it without the weird content.Â
