eta: just went through the list of content warnings and wow, for being less than 10% in that's... a lot. I think this book just might not be my style.

(Mentions specific character deaths)Spoiler
Both kids (13-14yo) die in this. I usually can't handle books that include kids being hurt or dying (and I still struggled with this one) but the way it was written and the fact that the very intense part was only about 2 pages long made it manageable for me.ekcd_'s review

One of the few books I’ve read where I had to physically shout HOLY FUCK during it.
Right now I have it a 4.75 and I’m not entirely sure where the deduction comes from. Maybe the gore? Maybe I’ll change the stars later
