As I had come to expect based on what I'd heard from friends, this first book in ToG is not nearly as gripping as SJM's other series. The writing is not as good and the characters and their dialogue don't read quite as authentically. But I'm excited to see how the rest of the series plays out because the world building is there. Also that ending was a doozy. Definitely didn't plan on being up so late reading so much of the end in one night.
Graphic: Death, Violence, and Murder
Moderate: Body horror, Drug use, Gore, Slavery, Blood, Vomit, Death of parent, and Injury/Injury detail
Minor: Sexism, Suicide, Gaslighting, Alcohol, War, and Classism
