4.5

I was genuinely surprised by how gripping and insightful this book is. This was the first book I read where the narrator is definitely a villain, or at least nowhere near a good person, yet I found myself still so interested in seeing their development. The major themes of this book really challenge our ideas of what a villain looks like and how trauma can change you in many ways depending on who you choose to be and what you believe in. Totally recommend!
