Heard good things about this book, but ultimately went into it blind and I’m so glad I did. Writing style was so enjoyable to read, and the story was beautifully written and ridiculously intriguing. I couldn’t put it down. Some parts are painful and incredibly real, and dark, but it didn’t feel violent for the sake of violence (or senseless glorification). Colourful characters and amazing world building paired with unique narration puts this as a 5-star read for me.
