A book for anyone who supports women’s wrongs and women’s rights. Also for people who enjoy stories where characters have incredibly intricate plans that have small details that pile up into big successes.

4.5

A debut that’s dark, and darkly amusing. If you like ‘weird’ books, this is a must read.

I needed to pick this up at every chance to see where it was going next. The thread isn’t the easiest to follow in all places, which is natural for a debut, but everything that is happening kept me going.

This is heavy in its content. If you don’t have the stomach for harm to every kind of creature, human or animal or deity, I would turn back now.
