4.5

I was a little apprehensive going into this one because honestly I'm a huge wuss when it comes to horror and I was afraid this would be too much. And while there is some horror, it mostly comes from the people wielding power they should never have had and the violence they inflict to keep that power. In a way this was an empowering read and once I understood that I completely devoured the rest of the book.
