I enjoyed this book. I loved how brutal it was and how interesting and unlikable the protagonist is. The world building was cool and intriguing. I did think the book could have benefitted from being longer, as some parts felt rushed. Overall, I would recommend to fans of dark fantasy, or morally grey, unlikable protagonists. ( )

Want some gore? 'Course ya do. This has it in abundance, as well as the most narcissistic sociopathic character I've encountered in ages. Reading her internal self-justifications that span most of the story are industrially cringeworthy. A fine read for lovers of dark fantasy who have a strong stomach. ( )
