The characters were all incredibly well thought out and I enjoyed the dubious morality. The two different perspectives made for a very rich contrast and exploration of gender, especially in a violent setting and how that intersected with character motivation. The plot was interesting, but slow at times. Great for character study but was kinda just whelmed by the story itself.
