I hated this book. The characters were all dislikable and the main girly Karris says “Women suffer their periods for men” immediately no, no thank you no more for me. A 13 y/o named Kip who falls into boobs during combat?? No thanks! The sexism and sexualization of women is so prevalent in this book that it takes away from what could be a cool plot. I could literally describe each woman in this book by the characteristics of their boobs. It just falls so phenomenally flat that I am FLABBERGASTED by the absolute love for this book.
