Hench

Teetered between 4 and 5 stars for a long time. In the beginning, I struggled to see where this might be heading, and for a long time I was unsure if I could summon enough empathy for the villains to truly buy into the message but I think eventually I got there.

I enjoyed the variety of characters, their diverse backgrounds and various realistic and unrealistic bodily features.

The protagonist's pansexual (?) love interests were a little confusing, all unrequited, and left a lot to be desired from a story point of view, all the way to the end when instead of a resolution we got a cliffhanger, which was honestly a little dissatisfying.

Regardless, a wonderful book and I'm glad I read it.
