5.0

There aren’t words for how much I loved this book. Yes, it’s majorly gory, but it also says some really wonderful things about what makes us human, the power of language, and how far we will go to maintain human entitlement and survival. Absolutely, magnificently brilliant. Not for the squeamish, but one of my favorite books of the year - easily. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
