The conclusion reveals a chilling revelation—almost all the main characters are painted in shades of villainy. The story, hypnotic and engaging, does suffer from a somewhat slow-paced narration, marked by unnecessary details and seemingly random bits of information that surface unexpectedly.
Despite its narrative pace, the book delves into a myriad of problematic topics, delivering a compelling and thought-provoking exploration of the human psyche. It's a story that shocks and appalls, leaving an indelible impact on the reader. However, a word of caution is warranted, as the book traverses sensitive terrain, making it imperative to be aware of trigger warnings before embarking on this gripping yet unsettling journey.
