OK, now we're getting somewhere!
(Although, could anyone else use less of Severin and Laila's tortured romance? No? Just me? Sheesh, I'm such a cynic.)

On a technical level, this book is very good. However, I was not in a headspace to read it with the love it deserves, because of triggering topics contained within the book itself. Also, I still don't really get why Tristan was murdering birds. It's not so much the book's fault as it is my own fault. I had no idea going in that the book was going to be about... the things it was about, nor that I would be triggered.
Moderate: Animal death, Antisemitism, Body horror, Child abuse, Mental illness, Misogyny, Racism, Terminal illness, Death, and Cursing
