The description for this book didn’t at all prepare me for what I was about to read. I both loved this and found myself wanting it to be over at the same time. It was very vulgar, especially for the time period it’s set in. This doesn’t make it bad, as it actually aligns well with the revolutionary side of the story, but I was taken aback by how much time was spent on women’s sexuality and didn’t expect that to be the premise of the story. I never truly understood the relationship between the two main characters either. And yet, I still found myself reading this book at a quicker than usual pace.

I should have DNF’d this book but it was short and I thought maybe it would change for the better. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen. I was reading this as a part of the “Botanical Horror” quest and while I can see why it was added for some of the sentient planet aspects, the rest of the book was just smut. Not shaming those that read smut! It’s just not for me because I feel like I awkward third wheel lol

To me this book was about a horny planet where people die when you cum and that wasn’t what I was looking for.

Whimsical, delightful, humorous, and cozy! What a beautifully painted painted story with an FMC I positively adore. If you enjoy audiobooks, the narration of this one is the cherry on top for added whimsy and engagement.

Listening to this felt like laying on a day bed with the warm sun coming in through the windows, laying on your belly and kicking your feet in the air. All while being teleported from a hat shop, to a castle, to a field of flowers. The descriptive scenes and relatable characters made it easy to feel like you were following along in their adventures.
