Oof. Where to begin? Between the frankly disgusting sexualization, the pointless footnotes, the Redditor reference humor, and absurd misuse of potential, this book is just plain bad.

The sexualization is where I have the least standing from which to criticize it, but also the part that squicks me out the most. Like Artemis, it's another case of a man writing a female protagonist who constantly thinks about sex, masturbation, and who's the most boinkable. In this case, though, it's even worse, because she's using her time-travel powers to effectively roofie people. I'm a (mostly-)cis, (mostly-)het, (completely-)white guy, but I've known a fair number of women, including some very sexual women. None of them acted anything like this, including the literal nymphomaniac.
