5.0
I've never read anything like this and I likely never will again. A story fit for ancient mythology. So incredibly gory. No appetite post read. Heartbreaking. Breathtaking. Absolutely insane, bonkers, wild.
Graphic: Body horror, Gore, Blood, Cannibalism, and Medical trauma
Moderate: Animal cruelty, Animal death, Child death, and Fire/Fire injury
