Great story, but so many triggers. Very dark. Still, I want to read the next one and see what happens to Nena.

• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

The dual perspectives & narration is *chef's kiss*
As you learn who MC is, you learn who she was and how she came to be.

The author explores topics like rape, genocide, slavery juxtaposed against love, family, justice, and forgiveness. I was crying at the end.

vcoutant's review against another edition

dark emotional tense

4.0

Intense FMC goes through a heinous before to get to a badass after to end at a promising now

Great, complex main characters

Especially loved the audiobook, the difference in diction between before and after

This is an amazing book but the subject matter can be hard so it's definitely a book you want to take breaks reading. It's worth reading though just want to prepare people for the content. The content warning at the beginning of the book is helpful and one of the better ones I've read.
