A review by girlreading
The Butterfly Assassin by Finn Longman
4.0
A fast paced, murderous thriller following an ace-aro teen assassin with a chronic illness as she attempts to live a life away from her abusive parents and the oppressive life of murder guilds.
A dark and gritty exploration of trauma, PTSD, abuse (parental, medical, physical and mental) and the pains it takes to get help with a chronic illness, Finn Longman brilliantly places very contemporary issues within this dystopian setting.
This works brilliantly as both a standalone and the start of a series and I look forward to seeing where Finn takes this story in future books.
TW: abuse, trauma, panic attacks, PTSD
