Holier than thou.
You are in for a ride. Lots of Christianity in here, but not in a missionary sort of way.

challenging dark emotional tense medium-paced

Depravity and gore and destruction for no apparent narrative reason other than to simply be so extreme it is unsettling. Very difficult to read plot and content wise. Boo.

too many content warnings are needed for this - if you’re into that sort of thing then its definitely worth a read but i dont have the stomach for some of the themes anymore
