This is one of those books that i can't just rate by stars. This was a deeply upsetting and disturbing read and i felt genuine pity for the characters but it also made me almost put it down the first time Emerenc beat the dog... A bizarre story that even though hurt my soul while i read it, i just couldn't put down. It caused me literal nightmares multiple times. It's a brilliant book but a very negative reading experience.

edit: i had to rate it a 5 star to put it among my favourites but it's not a 5 star honestly. but it's also so good i can't stop thinking about it
