It had the found family trope that I always enjoy and surprising great asexual representation in the charming Andre. I am happy that our protagonist got some happiness in her life. Yet I must say the Albert section broke my heart into a million pieces.
Yet, This book tell the tragic story of a girl life that was destroyed by vengeance, that in turn bleeds into her afterlife. It shows what revenge can do to a soul when it is the only force guiding you. The Faceless woman is a complicated protagonist while I admire her distain for capitalism and industrialization I can't really get behind Spoiler Alert:
<Murdering each son in the lineage of the person who destroyed her life
I can get behind her murdering the person that actually did it they deserved it but the other people are innocent.>
Yet this books has so many poetic prose and profound moments that I had to give it 5 starts.
A great story if you love, found family trope, paths of vengeance, poetic prose, and pirates!
