This book. Wow. I don't even know what to say about it exactly. It's dark, it's haunting, it's atmospheric. But it's also very, real, and raw, witty and snarky. The characters are complex and they're far from having the perfect moral compass, but that's what makes the whole story so interesting for me. We see them get consumed by revenge, sadness, lust, greed. The romance in this book is nothing I expected as well. It was humorous and tender, but also violent and melancholic. And before I forget, the prose is so damn beautiful?!?!? For a book with such a grim setting/plot, the author still managed to weave prose that is both equally disturbing and breathtaking (I don't know if that made sense, but that's what I thought. And I loved it!
