aardwyrm's review

challenging dark emotional hopeful reflective sad tense slow-paced

5.0

Rough and transcendent, a storyteller's cadence and a butcher's efficient brutality interrogating religion, identity, community, and other subjects so deep under the skin you can't see them without bleeding.
