Hannibal Rising by Thomas Harris
3.0
cw// child grooming
don’t get me wrong — this book IS worth reading. it’s a welcomed insight into hannibal’s trauma & it builds a solid backstory. it makes it all make sense. it broke my heart! i love him (nbc hannibal) so so so so much ok
but what the fuck is wrong with thomas harris. he wrote an entire child grooming romance with lady murasaki. AND it doesn’t read at all as “he was groomed by the woman who took him in as a traumatized mute child, which messed up his mental state even more!”
it read as “and then he kissed his sexy aunt”
