Yeah, there is rape, but that’s what many of us kinky women enjoy in FANTASY setting. At my ripe age of 35 I can distinguish fiction from reality and can understand that even if it’s part of the story it doesn’t mean it’s endorsing it in real life.
Now why I think the author is a woman: clit. Goddamn, not only they remembered there is something like this, but the rest of the anatomy is strangely correct - like the reproductive organs being snuggled inside, and not like on anatomical diagrams where it is all far away from each other (which is ok, it’s to show better every part).
Also plot is really good, and I root for the poor monsters to regain their humanity again!
English is not my first language so sorry for any mistakes….
