Flat / non likeable characters.
Only gore not much of a developement on the story or characters. Boring.

alychee's review against another edition

i tried but this is the worst book of all time, body horror and gore and incest and sexual horrors AND it's badly written ? can't tell the characters apart, don't remember who's who, i don't even understand how the traps and playgrounds are like it's the worst
please never read this, it's for you own sake

challenging dark emotional sad fast-paced

3.0

literally don’t even know how to rate this, so 3 stars? it certainly did its job and kept you captivated and waiting and HOPING for a respite or for something GOOD to happen. oh and PLEASE check the trigger warnings. it’s very intense and graphic, but like a train wreck i couldn’t look away and i pretty much regret it but at least there was a happy (if you can call it that?) ending sorta kinda

What a gory, fucked up, grotesque book. It was exactly what I expected it to be while a surprisingly good story and ending. I wished there was a happier ending for more people but at least the worst ones got what they deserved.

First 50 pages are absolutely disgusting but get past them and the rest is very good. I couldn't put it down.
