Thoughts
Neutral thoughts:

I really don’t know how I feel about this book. Reading/listening to the story just felt AWKWARD. And I don’t know if it’s because Marlinchen just felt SOOOOO WEIRD. She was so naive & timid & horny that I just honestly could NOT with her. But I will give this book an A+ for the gross, unconfortable feeling that it aimed to create. I honestly had to skim a lot of this book & skip around in the audiobook at certain parts/scenes.

Pros:
I loved the lore in this.

Gripes:

Marlinchen?
