Violent and brutal and yet the most necessary read. Horrible and beautiful and everything it strove to be. Do not read if you are even a little squeamish, but if you can stomach it you’re in for a revolution of a horror. 

Long live Silas.

Wow this was amazing. The last scenes kinda scared me but I got through it.. Just pretty disgusting

to bite someone's eye off

I'm kinda sad there wasn't more of an update at the end, I'm not sure if I understood where everyone ended up. Otherwise this was an amazing book. I really enjoyed it. It was fast, I didn't even realize I was like half way through. Although it did make me feel a bit like I was ADHD or smtg😆 I'm definitely gonna read the other book from him...
