Tried this to see if I would be interested in this author's work, and the answer is - no.

To much brutality for brutality's sake - as a way to ratchet up emotions and stakes and to delineate character affiliations. Not the kind of storytelling I would be interested in.

This novella really disappointed me. It doesn't add enough to the world to make it interesting and it jumps years frequently between chapters. I thought it would pick up once they started the journey, but that part was completely skipped over. I'd pass on reading this one tbh.
