Bro im sorry the cannibalism is not that they eat children it’s that they are made of candy and also eat candy, live in houses of candy etc.The writing was mediocre and the world building just pretty basic. I thought the submissive thing was just to not elaborate on the culture of the candy people. A lot of lost potential I would have loved to have franklin be a convincing candy person and actually live in their world instead of literally being chained to the bed.
Very short and still not that much happens??? At least in the middle of the book she’s like eat this meat of children and he’s like no and she feeds him and Blabla
Overall intriguing concept but the execution was lacking/
