Definitely an interesting story from an interesting perspective. I did enjoy reading this, ate it up in 1 day. Very importantly, there are several content warnings that are noteable (see content warnings) but the main character is interesting and I’m looking forward to spending more time with her and seeing her grow.

I would say it’s important to know what you’re getting into, as the subject matter is blunt and there are many aspects of this book that can be triggering. 

Also I think it’s important to know that this is book 1 of 6, so it’s definitely slow for a while but it’s definitely purposeful to build the world and relationships before the story takes off.
