I was excited and surprised to know that The Ring was a book before a movie! And a series at that!
After finishing the novel I can definitely say there are a few things- I would not recommend this to most intersex peoples because it can be seen as vilifying them towards the end of the novel
because Sadako is found to be intersex after she is raped and the fact that she is perpetuating the curse as a means of reproduction
. Besides that, I found the twist and pacing to be well done, and the imagery was stunning.
