I read it first as a teenager and really liked it, especially the generational fairy tale creation, but also was upset by it to the point of actual nightmares.
(I read a lot of Tepper after that, and my mother is/was a big fan; quite a lot of it gave me nightmares, while also being incredibly gripping / full of amazing ideas - for example Grass and Raising the Stones are books I got a lot out of reading and re-reading in my twenties but probably now will never reread.)
