parsnipsnap's review against another edition

We should just stop publishing and tolerating graphic sexual assault/rape on children, like why do you feel the need to describe it for 3 whole pages ???

This book has so much to unpack. the writing? delicious. the plot? nuanced and complex. the characters? rich with history and personality. I need to reread this asap because there's just so much to analyze.

At times beautifully written and at times somewhat incoherent. I expected a twist or surprise that would make it worth it, but the foreshadowing was so thick that the story unfolded easily and the last third of the book only reiterated what I'd already figured out.
