1.0
well written babbling with poorly written gore . incredibly repetitive in both plot, word usage, and self referencing .
i'm not a fan of books that say their own titles like a punchline, and this book did it literally countless times . i actually lost track of the times it said "only _____ remains"
parts of this book borderline on just graphic gorey CP , and every other aspect is just the main characters revenge porn drug out between regurgitated information
this is the second splatterpunk horror i've read and i personally think the desperate attempts to gather gasps from the reader gets to be a point where the actual artistry of being an author is removed . can and will it ever be both in this genre ?! not this time
