5.0

I have no fucking words.

Like I think there are enough objective flaws within this novel to make the five stars seem a little excessive.

But that TWIST those emotions the utter insanity of those last 100 pages.

This book was feral... filled with righteous Fury that was not quelled until everything became Ashes.

This is a wildfire of a story, a voracious calamity of unimaginable damage.

And it was so good...so emotionally gripping and filled to the brim with commentaries I could never begin to fully unpack.

The easiest five stars. The unapologetic success within these pages.

Criminally underrated, even if it became a viral phenomenon.
