A horrifying look into the cost of war and what atrocities we are willing to commit for retribution.
Rin is literally punch first ask questions later kind of girl, evidenced by Nezha’s face, the Federation, and her uterus.
Such a good book, I thought it was a little predictable at times but so well done and I am so invested in the characters that I couldn’t take my eyes off this book for days! All of the characters commit violent acts and all have had violent acts committed against them. Who is responsible for the acts they commit when in the face of torture? Is someone being pushed too far justification for murder? When there is no good or bad, just violence after violence, when does vengeance stop?
