skimmed this because i had superiority complex and thought i could handle it, turns out not really. can’t give the full zero stars bc the plot is interesting to say the very kindest, and the writing is technically engaging. but good god the content …………

voidcrawler's review against another edition

surprisingly, i found this kind of boring… i really wanted to like it though. the author’s incredibly talented and i’d read more of his work, but this fell flat for me. i gave it to roughly the halfway mark to give me something to feel, but… oh well. i’d still recommend it to anyone who wants something a little more on the disturbing side.
