I really wanted to like this. Loved the female rage, the setting, the disability rep, the fact that it's a real love triangle . But I didn't find myself rooting for the characters, the answer to violence was always more violence, the love story didn't work for me and the ending was just... frustrating.
Graphic: Death, Misogyny, and War
Moderate: Alcoholism, Suicidal thoughts, and Torture
