this book ruined my life. i think it gave me ptsd, no joke.
this is armand telling david talbot (yes, it makes no sense, it should've been journalist daniel molloy) the story of his life, since he was a child to the current day.
i read this book without knowing much, just having read the previous 5 books in the chronicles, and with misleading ideas in favour of marius de romanus that other people told me. this book is VERY hard to read because it has extremely distressing topics (i will add some trigger warnings at the end) and i highly recommend if you think any trauma could be triggered by this book... do not read. do not harm yourself.
that being said, i still rate this book 5 stars because of how complex armand is as a character, he became one of my favorite characters. i can HATE what happens in this book but still recognize no matter how fucked up it is, that it is a good book. dark and traumatizing.
TW: rape, pedophilia, physical abuse, grooming, sexual abuse, human trafficking, child trafficking and more.
marius de romanus is the worst character to ever exist and i'm sad rice (who i'm sure is in hell for writting this book) didn't kill him before dying herself. this fictional monster is an abuser in all the forms of the word and he commits graphic abuse to children ON page. so please beware.
