I was disappointed by the end though which went anticlimactic for me. And to me personally the Acknoledgements in which the backstory is explained made it even worse. Instead of being left with an impactful read the end and these commentary faded the experience out.
Heavy content warning for torture, animal torture, body horror, violence...
