It took me 2 attempts to read. Ny first attempt I was so confused by the plot and I found all the characters really unlikeable. Then my 2nd attempt at reading, everything clicked and the plot felt rich, slow at first then suddenly it picks up the pace, the morally grey characters are fascinating and fight for what they belive in, even if its not right.

Graphic: Murder, Death, and Alcoholism
Lots of death. A character character repeatedly forced to take alcohol as a means of control. People in the country look down on others from a different part of the country, seen as less civilised/judged. Most characters who are narrators openly disagree with this, but numerous side characters state their opinions.
