Beautifully written and terribly disturbing. Even though you know what’s coming, you still won’t be prepared for that moment. 
A slow read for me personally but I enjoyed it. The world building was exquisitely detailed, and the characters were all well fleshed out. Norton is a well written terrible man from the get go if you’re paying attention.
Not for the faint of heart, and I found myself uneasy at certain parts of the story, but it’s one I won’t soon forget.

Gruesome, grotesque, fascinating and eye-opening

Mini spoiler -> when I whrite eye-opening, I am referring to the consequences of the western takeover of U’ivu. 

Another mini spoiler -> I really wanna know what happened to Tallent
