Okay so, book-reading speedrun record? I got the book in London yesterday and finished it today, despite working for most of the day lol.
I'm kinda torn about this book for a couple reasons. It was very... easy to read? Idk the word count but I haven't had this easy of a time burning through pages since I read my horse books as a kid. However, the themes and sometimes very detailed gorey descriptions puts it far from a pre-teen book in my opinion, so I'm kinda unsure where this fits in. We learn that Luke is/looks "no more than twenty" but I don't even remember what the main character's age is.
