5.0

Not to be a basic b but this is a masterpiece. Of hilarity and literary fun, while at the same time devastating familial (but national) tragedy. Crazy how we’ve been losing our minds for centuries, justice systems still don’t work the world over, and the idea of simultaneously approaching the two abysses has and probably will never change or become less confusing.
