Status Updates From À l'ombre des eaux troubles

for a majority of this book i was enjoying it, enough that i wouldve gave it either 4 or 4.5 stars but now, i dont know what has changed exactly but my likening for this is wavering slowly. its kind of disappointing honestly

This feels like it was written by someone who watched Wicked and decided that the Jewish and Sapphic bits needed to be more overt. Though I'm listening to the audiobook and maybe the way the narrator is doing Lorelei's voice is impacting my perception lol. I'm enjoying it :3

Sapphic
Use of german
Lorelei - jewish like VS Silvia (what did she do i'm the past?) - Christian/pure --- antisemitism trope - pro colonialism
