Not at all where I thought the story was going to end, but I'm glad I picked it up.

I felt that the characters were well-developed: each had their own unique characters and the decisions they made were sensible for their context. The world itself was also quite vidid in detail. The central story is satisfying and unique, and an accurate portrayal of the feelings, thoughts and emotions that victims of abuse experience (e.g. shame, guilt, love, remorse, hatred, anger, etc.), and the complex interplay between each.
The kinda novel that grows you as a person. Well worth the time.

4/5 for writing, 4/5 for story and 4/5 for impact.
