This is brutal. Horribly, graphically, and violently brutal. I’m seriously struggling to understand why this series has such an intense cult following, but I’m also undoubtedly finishing the series though so it must have something going for it. If you can stomach all the senseless violence that doesn’t quite logically work with the story, the plot is pretty captivating.
