The prose is really hard at the beginning (specially because I read in English, which is my second language), but after a while I got the hang of it and the plot and characters just... made sense. I loved it. It's beautiful and moving and deep, while also being confusing and kind of over the top.
Graphic: Gore, Violence, and War
There is a scene with spiders that might trigger arachnophobia.
