Wow. This was a great piece of literature that was a very difficult read. It hurts some really hard, and dark, topics and themes.
I did not look forward to reading some parts of it and had to read it in small bursts. It took me liber than usual to get through it. BUT, it was worth it. It’s decidedly worth the read…just difficult and painful to process. Definitely take a look at the trigger warnings because…damn.

Anybody will tell you, the born of this world are marked from the get out. Win or lose.
