DNF @ 32%, I really wanted to like this, and maybe I would if I read it in book form, but the prose and narration sound rambly and I'm having trouble figuring out the other plot besides the fact that she doesn't want to be pregnant. Oh, well.

DNF at 30%

This was one of my most anticipated reads this year, and it was such a huge let down.

The worldbuilding is watered down and we have the stereotypical white female protagonist that is constantly all “woe is me”.

One of the aspects of this book that really doesn’t sit well with me is the claim that the nuns of the sisterhood are all bisexual and/or lesbian because in this book, the nuns can’t be with men because they become infected and turn into zombie like beasts. This literally implies that the nuns are queer by default, which…is not okay.

Also, this book operates fully within the gender binary, so while the world is queer normative there’s no trans or non-binary people.

I found this book to be overall enjoyable. It was dark, twisted, and magical.

The plot was unique and the authors writing was simply beautiful and kept me hooked even when the story felt slow-paced.

The world-building was well done and was certainly unlike anything I've read before (especially considering all of the cannibalism).

But I found the ending to be unsatisfactory; it seemed rushed. There was also an unfortunate lack of character growth.
