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.
