This is not a light read. I found the overall arc of the story to be compelling but felt that the author sometimes used gore or sex to try to keep things interesting at calmer plot points. A bit too graphic for me, but those not bothered by that would likely really enjoy it.

It’s hard for me to imagine holding on to hatred as long as these characters do.

I gave up after the hot forest outlaw raped the main dude who was lowkey dying of exposure/starvation next to his sleeping children literal hours they had just buried their mother and left the infant whose birth killed her to die

3.25

Interesting historical realistic fiction with many intertwining storyline. Main protagonists feels like you can root for them. Antagonists are definitely awful. Did not enjoy the sheer volume of graphic & explicit scenes including numerous SA. Towards the end of the story it felt like the plot line was wrapping up and then there was more...and more 😅. It was overall good but I don't know that I'd recommend it personally.
