I got really excited about the potential of this book and I help on past some disturbing content but there is just a lot. There is also the trippy story telling method that leaves you completely lost in the where when and who. The main character is a tracker and identifys others by the smell of their penis... it got to be too much.its_kievan's review against another edition

This is a dark, unhappy book. There's rape and murder in fairly graphic detail. Every character is morally grey. If that's not something that you enjoy, I don't recommend this book. What kept me reading was the world building and the relationships, platonic and romantic.
One thing I did not like about this book was the main character's hatred towards women. I don't think this went unexamined, but I also feel like ultimately, his hatred was validated.
If you decide to read this book, I highly recommend reading the book and listening to the audiobook in tandem. That really helped me to understand it and get through it. Seeing the maps was also helpful and was very fun.
