4.0

although i’ve always known the intro line set up the tone of violence for the rest of the book i was somehow really not expecting it. extremely well written too (which i was not expecting), i’m happy i went into this sort of blind without an idea of the plot but wished i’d read some TWings before. not a book i’d really recommend to anyone but glad to have finally read it.

Why is no one talking about the blatant racism in this?? I thought I was being unreasonable being disgusted by the descriptions of people from different races because no one mentioned it in any of their 5 star reviews of this “masterpiece”. 
This was an almost dnf for me, saved only by my own curiosity of knowing where this character would end up and if it would follow the same author’s demise.

Sylvia understood what it’s like to be a woman in this world. I’ve never felt so recognised, in this glorious and gorgeous work of writing.
