4.5
Not a 5 star because there were moments throughout where I was like, "hot dang I'm only x of the way through???"--several points where it felt like the climax only to realize I was only a quarter of the way in. Kind of slow BUT everything in it was soooooo good; it was long but none of it felt irrelevant or unnecessary.
I loved the characters in this, even the antagonists were fascinating because they were nuanced and motivated by their own personal traumas.
So well done and captivating
Moderate: Domestic abuse, Physical abuse, Rape, Murder, Child abuse, Emotional abuse, Sexual violence, and Pedophilia
Lots of dark themes for background characters; not graphic detail but mentionedlycheejelly's review
