There’s no denying that it is a very good book, and clearly strong source material for the HBO show.
I did not like it as much as the first, but it was not bad.
Idk. There’s something about these books that scream “this was written by a man!!!” I could give about 58 examples but I’d rather die than think about them.
Again, just like the first book, the discussion of underaged sex and sexuality will turn your stomach. It’s really not doing what Georgey thinks it’s doing. It’s pretty vile.
Other than that, the relationships and politics are quite interesting! Would not read again, but mostly happy I read it once.
