It’s controversial with all the topics it brings up but very Intense and intriguing. The jumps in time make it confusing at first but it’s great to see with time all the sides of the story. Very interesting to read a pov of a blind character. I wasn’t sure how it would end or make sense but it was good

Read warning content. This was a harder one to read, darker than the first 2. Slower paced also. I considered stopping a few times but I was to intrigued so kept going despite darkness crossing boundaries and the slower pace.
