4.0

This book is hard to read, but in a way that made me want to keep eating the words. The characters are strong and multi-dimensional. The story arc will leave you questioning many things and might even surprise you. 

Baru is complex to say the least, single-minded, and probably autistic. You'll probably love her, but you'll hate her for it.
