Absolutely phenomenal read. Don’t think I’ve ever read a book that was just so difficult to get through, the brutality is next level.
For later:
- historical context
- bodily autonomy
- substance abuse
- reality of war
I will come back once I’ve finished reeling.

The second book of the trilogy is better than the first, but they are most definitely both 5 stars.
