Passei este livro todo a debater-me sobre o ranking que lhe ia dar e acho que talvez lhe vá dar 5 estrelas.
É um livro que não consigo compreender totalmente mas acho que a sua beleza está aí porque para se escrever este livro é preciso ser-se uma grande autora, na minha opinião.

Truly amazing character development, a dollop of worldbuilding in the form of Earth's own history, readable and riveting. This book is also hideously, gruesomely violent on nearly every page. We're talking the gamut from rape and murder to torture, suicide, and mutilation. I skipped a few pages when it got really detailed, and I never intend to read this again.
