3.0
Some of the writing took away from the story (Repetitive lines, not much left for implication) but the character and story was cool enough to see past it. The beginning was hard for me to grab onto but a few chapters in and I saw the direction a bit better. Overall, nothing super surprising or unique but a good story.
Graphic: Sexism, Misogyny, Racism, and Death
Moderate: Body horror
Minor: War, Sexual violence, and Physical abuse
