challenging dark fast-paced

4.5

This book makes me feel thorn because even though I think it's brilliant, it's not necessarily an enjoyable experience. It's very cathartic but not in a power fantasy way. I like the open ending because it leaves so many questions for you to ponder, which I think it's always positive in a story.
