Significant lack of bloodletting and Mummy eating in this book about Victorian era Doctors...

No it's fine I can cry about it its okay

Most of the reviews/comments I've seen (on Pagebound) have been super negative, but I'm loving this so far! Maybe because I'm listening to the audiobook I'm not picking up on the apparently weird language they've mentioned?

"I balance numbers, he balances humours,"

Jane has something wrong with her and I love her for it

When I say I want everyone to love eachother THIS IS WHAT I MEAN

Lowkey hate that this cannibal romance made me tear up

"Foaming and raving, eyes rolling madly, she sympathized with women whose only medicine was an ice pick to the brain. A cleaver would do me, thought Jude, and the idea of cracking open her skull and the vileness within her spilling out, pooling up to her ankles, her thighs, tickled Jude so much that her screams became laughs, became screams and laughter again."

WOW

"He has a simple answer: 'Join us! Our doors are open to every nationality, every race! Leave you sinful past behind, and become one of us. Help us to make America great again.'"

EWWWWWW
I'm sure Trump isn't the first person to preach MAGA, but still, Octavia Butler predicted that shit!!!
These books are far too close for comfort right now

So far? Rough. Like, the premise is interesting, the writing is great (which, of course. It's Octavia Butler) but good god there are some horrific things in this book. Namely the main character, who is physically a preteen but mentally much older, being in a sexual relationship with a GROWN MAN.
I'm trusting the process, but God damn.
