- I think this is the first time I've known of the word penis specifically to be used in a smut scene. (value neutral statement.)
- dragged on a bit a lot in the beginning.
- audiobook narrator sounded kind of AI? every sentence felt like it had the same cadence and pitch progression.
- yes there's blood drinking from the butt at one point
- I do feel like the smut felt a bit sudden sorta. like I was almost waiting for it to be a wet dream scene that is woken up from in the beginning.
- not really a lot of dwelling on the emotional aspects of stuff happening in the end. which like, is fine, but it's weird that there wasn't a conversation about what happened to [redacted character].
- was a bit unclear about whether that one character was like.... scalped????? like...
- maybe most of my beefs were because I was listening at nearly 3x speed but I felt like it was necessary to get to the point, and with the narrator

at the same time, I feel like I didn't really get to know the characters that well. like what on earth does Jude even LIKE to do? what does Clementine LIKE about him besides just that he is Jude? they clearly are really into each other and have a lot of grief and some baggage but like bruh what else. what coping mechs does Clementine have? Jude at least retreats.
the characters are pretty 2D but the plot is pretty 4D which made me keep going.
I listened on audiobook at 2.4x speed so YMMV if you read it analog.
