WOW. This book is not at ALL what in thought it would be. This is R.F Kuangs first book and it is a DOOZIE. 
The writing in this is amazing. She writes the descriptions of the world that Rin is in like an movie. I can picture all characters and the scenery as well if it was right in front of me. That is sometimes a detriment to the reader. This is an amazing book and I can’t wait to see what happens with the rest f the series considering the ending of this book was insane. 
She is EXTREMELY graphic in this book so make sure to check trigger warnings before reading.
