An enslaved woman kills those who have been the arbiters of her paint and the world demands balance through her.

Hauntingly raw, morally-questionable albeit honest, revolving around an interesting protagonist with impossible character development in under 30 pages. The length was my only complaint.

This really makes me want to dive deeper into Rivers Solomon's writing. Definitely some weird and grotesque parts, but that really made me enjoy it all the more. I only wished that it would've been longer, maybe even in just a novella form to expand on some of these ideas a little further. This really makes me think I would enjoy some of her longer form novels.

This story is written so coldly and matter-of-factly, and sometimes that is shocking and discomforting (rightly so), and sometimes it's just descriptive and matter-of-fact.
