3.0

My biggest mistake was reading the last few chapters of this while eating dinner. Whatever possessed me to have done that knowing what was to come, fuck you.

I have nothing and everything to say about this book. Took me three months to finish it, partly because the things laid out in this book were absolutely horrifying, and partly because I lost interest halfway specifically because of how horrifying it was-- if that even makes sense.

So explicitly violent, gory and macabre that I don't know what else to say. This is definitely not for the faint of heart, and there's so many content warnings that you should look into before reading. There were times I got confused because of sudden switches in the pov, but the writing was beautiful.

I want to say I'm glad that I can finally mark this as read, but at what cost?
