Interesting moments, and I'm curious to see what departures the film takes from the book. Did read a bit slow and felt like it was padded out in places to hit book length.

Going into this book I didn’t know what to expect, maybe a nonfiction book that read like fiction but I was totally wrong. The book itself was very informative, though was somewhat confusing in some places. Not gonna lie there were times where I was like, “what the fuck am I reading”, but there were also times where I was like, “holy shit that’s insane”. Overall the book was both a hit and miss, it had great parts and terrible parts. Was it worth reading? Yes. Would I read it again? Mmm maybe (it depends). All jokes aside, I am glad I read this book before watching the movie (even though I have yet to watch the movie, but I’ll probably update this review when I do)!
Graphic: Rape, Murder, Animal death, Torture, War, Sexual assault, Animal cruelty, and Death
Just a lot of stuff you’d imagine in the last 1300s.
