hanarama's review against another edition

Book at a Glance: 
Multi POV 
1793 Stockholm
Mystery thriller 
CW: extreme body horror, extreme physical and mental abuse, medical trauma, medical content, injury detail, abelism 

More extreme and bleak in its depictions of gore an human cruelty than I want to engage with. I'm not usually squeamish in regards to true crime or medical content, but I found the descriptions in this book to be very vivid. The mood of this book honestly made it hard for me want to press on. As such, I'm calling it quits. 

I'm sure others will enjoy this book, but I just found it to be too much.
