As a person who couldn't care less about morality in fiction, I thoroughly enjoyed Red Hood in all its bloody glory. While I can see why some people think the book encourages murdering abusive men, the characters clearly say that not all men become wolves. The male characters who play a big part in Bisou and her grandmother's lives are clearly depicted as being unproblematic, and in the end the message is not about how women defend themselves from men. It's about how men need to stop becoming predators. Sometimes we just need to stop taking things too literally to get the message.However, I do agree that the book might make some people uncomfortable, and that the second person perspective is not for everyone. It is also slow-paced at some points, particularly at the first section before Bisou gets to hear her grandmother's story. The ending is also quite abrupt, though personally I think it is a fitting ending for the book.For those who think this is a fantasy book, it's not. Not really. It's set in the modern world, with the wolves and the hunters being the light fantasy elements. It's different from [b:Damsel 36260155 Damsel Elana K.
