I appreciate that there is no romance plot!

Quite graphic, handles grim themes responsibly. Not as sophisticated as her more resent works and waxy at times. Engaging nonetheless! I will be reading on in the series

First rating 3.75⭐️… but I think I need to digest it a bit more before sticking to a final rating.
