It was alright. Sometimes the way the author described the knot in Jack's ~ahem~ member had me feeling a bit icky. "Swollen" was just giving "inflamed." I dunno.
Outside of the descriptions occasionally being a little off-putting, I thought the story was interesting! The lore behind the queens of Crow's Rest was really cool, and the setting was quaint and cute. I think I would've liked to see Delilah's family fleshed out a little bit more, because there were some interesting plot points there (like the mom's obsession with her children being people she can brag about, her brother's addiction, and the mystery brother we heard almost nothing about). There seemed to be a lot of tensions in the family that I would've liked to see resolved in the story instead of off-page.
