This book was so good with description but so, SO fucked up. I think it hit every trigger ever made. I had to keep reading it anyway though

Basically splatterpunk. Didn’t enjoy it at all, and not even for gore / similar reasons. Cows speaking and the slaughterhouse environment were so ridiculous. I would have DNF, except I don’t ever do that.
