Barely made it past page 20. Absolutely did not enjoy the writing style.

roxtar's review against another edition

I just could not get into it. I don’t mind violence normally but there didn’t seem to be anything else. Just one horror scene after another. I was just trying to figure out what was happening and where I was in the story. I will try this again another time.

joelette's review against another edition

There was a rape early on in the book. I try not to read books with that trope.

Just finished this book and I'm not sure what to say. It's quite a unique and challenging book, with really interesting characters. I didn't really get invested in the story and characters until I had read 130 pages but after that I was all in. My eyes hurt from crying.

bojangles's review against another edition

I couldn't wrap my head around this, or get anchored in what was happening. I will try again someday maybe. I had high hopes, but I simply could not picture in my mind what was going on, and I couldn't get into it.

Brutal, violent, challenging. I read it on ebook and audio. The audiobook is amazing, would recommend that.

faizastra's review against another edition

Incoherent, all-over-the-place plotwise and character-wise
