Unlike anything I've ever read. This type of writing usually wouldn't be for me but I think I read it at exactly the best or the worst time for me to read it.

challenging dark fast-paced

Plot- or character-driven? Character
Strong character development? No
Loveable characters? No
Diverse cast of characters? Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

okay so i only read the first chapter bc that’s all i need to read, but i think at one point i’ll try to read the rest - i’m intrigued. love how uni said “tw for ‘some’ sexual violence” - there was a LOT and i was not prepared - honestly didn’t enjoy reading it.

don’t fully understand what was going on, apparently a lot of subversion (naturally) and timelessness/time-jumping.
