This book just wasn’t for me. I was really interested in the mysticism, but it was just a bit too dark, gritty, and gory for my personal taste. Some scenes are very graphic (violent) and hard to read, and I don’t consider myself to have a weak stomach. Overall, the book was pretty depressing. I think the writing was great, and the story had a unique premise, but the tone was a bit too rough for me
