Who This Is For
Best for readers who want something unflinching — morally complex, heavy, and honest about the worst of things. The prose is accessible — you can read this quickly and it never asks too much of you. It moves quickly — once you're in, it's hard to stop. Not the right choice if you're after something comforting or redemptive.
Best Read When
Best read when you're in the mood for something dark and uncompromising — and want a read that's fast and propulsive.
