Definitely recommend it for fans of dark historical dramas who don't mind an unreliable narrator! Definitely do not recommend it for anyone who likes to root for the main character, or who doesn't want to read about toxic relationships.

Violent love eats up what it does love, and is mere appetite.
This was wild ride. The narrator is not a person that you easily sympathize (i didn't at all), you are in is head throught the whole book and by the end i just wanted to be free of this man's mind.
Althought i hated this character most of the times, I would be lying if I said I didn't find his character fascinating to read. I do love to read books with morally grey (or really fucked up characters) like this one has, so this was a treat for me.
