I really liked this book. I don't care if it's shittily written and that so many people loathe it, I found it a really great read, although arguably one that shouldn't been thought about too much

I'm sure people disagree, but I don't think this is a very good book. The characters felt manufactured and fake, the storyline was barely present, the writing was iffy at best and for a book about sexual slaves there was very little sex happening. Unless you consider public shaming and sadomasochism outside of a scene and/or relationship "sexy", that is.

Throughout most of the book, I kept waiting for Gen and Noah to come to their senses and run off together. Lyda seemed like such an unbearably cold person. It's amazing that they wanted to hang around her for all that time. Only at the end she starts showing some of her softer sides, and was I better able to get behind this situation. It's a strange experience, reading about a relationship you don't understand

Seeing the description, I thought this book would be similar to Kenji Lopez-Alt's The Food Lab. I was wrong. The focus here lay mainly on the recipes, not on the how and why of them. Instructions in the explanation part where sometimes unclear and I really missed the pictures with the recipes.
For all I missed in it though, I think this is the most complete set of baking recepies I've ever seen. From the basic chocolate cakes and apple pies, to things I've never heard of before.
I haven't tried out any of the recipes (yet) so I've got no clue if they're actually any good, but the sheer amount of them is very impressive.
