foxglove_alchemist's review against another edition
Then, at about the halfway point, you are hit with a full page trigger warning, giving you the chance to stop reading before the book really gets into it.
I thought for, quite some time as to whether I should continue or not, curious as to how much worse it can get but also worried if i carried on I might end up with ptsd - (I will say, Im not usually easily scared/bothered by horror, however the situation set up in the first half is probably one of my worst nightmares) - and in the end my partner offered to read the next couple of chapters for me to see if the trigger warning was actually a serious warning..... it's completely serious. What follows is bad and it gets worse and worse.
My partner told me that I should not read the rest because he knew it would really upset me but we spoke about it and told me (in the least amount of detail possible)some of what he read..... I'm absolutely horrified!
I've since cried multiple times about this book and I'm glad I didn't carry on reading.
This book has made me pause on reading for a while and from now on I will do more research on an extreme horror before reading and also take trigger warnings seriously.
If you are bothered by sexual violence and are in any doubt about whether you should read this... or if you're thinking how bad can it get? It gets very bad, don't read it, it will upset you.
