Wow! This is raw and painful, but I think that's the point. I know I definitely shared some of Nina's experiences and could really relate to many of the things she had to endure with respect to Seth. There were many observations woven in with how women are regarding by society and have been treated and viewed historically.

Overall: Dark and full of pain, but quite thought provoking.

What are they then, this horde, these women, if they are not the fawning lovers of their god? Who are they, free of the conditions they have accepted like layers of chains?

— A raw and honest examination of womanhood and what it means to be a female in our society: the objectification, expectations, etc.
