It’s extremely violent and graphic. But an interesting world 🤷🏻♀️ The pacing is jarring at times, things feel very skipped over, or fast forwarded. The author is a screen writer though, so this makes a lot of sense. Dialogue game strong, plot twist game strong. Ixa is everything haha.
Graphic: Violence, Child death, Death, Death of parent, Animal cruelty, Misogyny, Xenophobia, Slavery, Religious bigotry, Emotional abuse, Confinement, Body horror, and Blood
Moderate: Rape and Sexual assault
