I respect what the author was trying to accomplish, however, it was too clunky for me. This book is extremely graphic so if you’re sensitive to triggering content, I advise you to check the tags. For clarification, the graphic nature of this book is not what pushed me to give a low rating, it had more to do with characterization, world building, and plot development.
Content Warnings
Graphic: Drug abuse, Drug use, Genocide, Gore, Colonisation, War
Moderate: Child abuse, Child death, Sexual violence, Torture, Pregnancy, Injury/Injury detail
