This book feels more like a biography than the kind of historical fiction I’m accustomed to. Very, very historically based. It’s very informative and I feel like I learned a lot about the culture and historical conflict. That being said, it’s NOT an easy read. I think it’s worthwhile, but it’s TOUGH. Content warnings should be taken seriously.
