WOW. I’ve never had such an immersive reading experience as this series or felt such investment in a fantasy setting. A very believable descent into the corruption of power in the protagonist turned villain, and a completely heartbreaking, unexpected romance that never was and never could be. Fantastic.
Graphic: Drug abuse, Torture, Violence, Addiction, Cannibalism, Animal cruelty, Animal death, Colonisation, Injury/Injury detail, Murder, Suicide, Blood, Body horror, Death, Toxic friendship, War, Genocide, Gore, and Sexual assault
EXTREMELY dark, bleak, and gory.
