4.5

I wanna give this book five starts because it's technically good and I couldn't put it down, but it's also the most violent pornographic thing I've ever read. I'm fine with gore in books or movies but the descriptions in this book of sexual violence and harm to other characters is just so gross. It's a really well written story and gripping to say the least. The ending is what I'd hoped for so I at least can rest easy with that
