Moderate: Animal cruelty, Body horror, Infidelity, Violence, and Fire/Fire injury

Minor: Racial slurs, Sexism, Sexual content, and Colonisation

Racial slur usage marked minor due to being used primarily in a reclaimed/self-identifying context & written by an author who can appropriately do so; brief discussion of colonisation primarily in referenced historical anecdotes.

4.0

If you still haven't reached the halfway point and find it slow and boring, keep reading. It gets so much better.
It was sad, and gory, and dark, and I was genuinely scared during the whole climax, which is great in a horror novel. I loved it, and if the first half wasnt so slow boring I would have given it a 4.5 (it was too brutal for my taste).
