Good book but sometimes the choice of words was a little odd, like betwixt instead of between

All I can say is that this is not, in anyway, light reading. This book deals with a lot of racism and misogyny.

I had a hard time starting this book. I couldn’t really get into it that easy, but when I did fall into the story it was an amazing ride. 

I am personally a non native reader and that was why I had trouble starting this book. The words and sentence building used weren’t familiar to me, which made it harder to understand what was written. I wouldn’t recommend this book to someone who just started reading in English as a non native speaker. 

Besides that, this book has a lot of diversity, fun characters and a good plot! 

So far I noticed pansexual representation, possible gay representation, non binary representation and many different skin tones. 

I can understand however if people would find this book to be triggering due to a lot of death and racism/discrimination.
