I liked it. The tension between Malcolm and Seong-jae is killing me. I love Mrs. Leon-Khalaji but also please do not do this to me, I cannot stand it anymore. Sten wins the Best Character Of The Year Award. Arash DILF. Not many coherent thoughts in this review, gotta admit that.

To be honest, I had some issues with how violent and descriptive chapter 0 was. It felt a little too much. But I'm thankful for the author's afterwards—they do help with contextualising the scenes and the writing choices, and look at the book from different angles.

The writing is superb as usual
