4.5

an incredible read. very interesting premise and infused with character.  the climax was a little rushed and at some times felt cliche. still intriguing and an excellent conversation on what hatred is and what it can do.

Really enjoyed this on audio!! The narrator was amazing. This is outside of what I typically read, but I definitely want to read more of this author in the future!
