The writing is beautiful, at turns lyrical, idyllic, vulgar, and changeable as any one person's speech usually is. Given that the entire book is narrated from the point of view of Hera, the style is fitting and enjoyable to read. Will add more thoughts later.
Moderate: Violence
Minor: Physical abuse and Rape
