This book was hard for me to read. Definitely check out the TW before reading this series, I was caught completely unaware.

The art is amazing and the story is progressing in an interesting way. 

If not for the graphic SA, I would still have this book at a four. But it almost turned me away from the series entirely.

I’m so confused! Not just about the ending of this volume, but I’m having a hard time keeping the characters and alignments in my mind. Also, men suck. The art is still really horribly beautiful and detailed though.
