TW: Rape, sexual assault of children, genitalia mutilation, violence, gore, torture 

2.5

Honestly, I’m still not quite sure what happened... second half is stronger when it comes to linear plot lines. The first half jumped around a lot and it was hard to keep track of what was going on. Making this book was very hard to get though. 

Very rapey and everything was described sexually... like everything... even inanimate objects. 

The trigger warnings above were depicted extremely graphic so please take them seriously and tread carefully.

aroguemonster's review against another edition

The prose and graphic nature weren't really appealing. I only kept reading because it was here, but I'm returning it to the library so I can get something else to read.
