I feel sick to my goddamn stomach. Amazing book, i would never read it again. The start made me think i knew what was coming, i didnt. Near the last couple of chapters, seeing the realities of this genocide, especially with whats happening in this world right now....i just....i dont think i can continue this series for my own mental health. Its well written it makes people contemplate and laugh and cry but this is it for me im done.
