Came into this book with already high expectations and by god they were met. The prose was phenomenal, and almost every paragraph sank its teeth into my brain. It took me a while to get through this because I was afraid of finishing it. And now that I have, I'll have to busy myself with re-reading and waiting for the physical copies to drop.
It was so cathartic to have to read - to experience - about a character who near-paralleled my experience with faith. Benji did the one thing I could not: get even.
I highly recommend this to every single person who had to swallow their anger to survive, to everyone who had to keep their head down and submit, to everyone who has the fury of hell tucked away in their chest. (Though, please heed the content/trigger warnings. Keep yourself safe)
With all that, I'd like to thank the author, Andrew Joseph White, for unleashing this book into the world.
Big thanks to the publisher for providing me this ARC via NetGalley. This does not in any shape or form influence my review on this book.
