The darkness was almost too much for me, I think some content warnings need to be added to the list, but overall I have no regrets reading it.
I love the main characters, and it was so interesting to find a story where I didn’t immediately fall in love with the villain (I usually can’t help myself but in this case I enjoyed being drawn to the niceness of certain characters).
The storytelling within the plot was so rich, and the prose was gorgeous.

I love how vibrant (or should I say dark?) Silvia wrote the imagery in this book. I could picture everything like in a movie, even against my will. She created a world that seems so real but shouldn't be for everyone's sanity.
The gore and the twist are deliciously disturbing. I also love how the story came to a satisfying conclusion. I love how this story interwove themes of racism, free will, and the effects of colonization. It hasn't been a while since I finished this book but I know I'll be thinking about it for a long time.
