This book was disappointing to me, since the setting and premise have a lot of promise, and I genuinely enjoyed the worldbuilding. However. I have never been so annoyed with a MC. She treats her best friend terribly and constantly talks down to him, behaves in the most narcissistic way possible, and consistently abuses those around her for no reason. There's a difference between making an "unhinged chaotic evil heroine" willing to go to extremes and writing a blatantly abusive narcissist that makes terrible decisions & shows no sign of any character development. It's a miracle I didn't DNF.

In the book it’s is described in depth, multiple times, what it feels like to chew and swallow another persons eyeball. It’s very disturbing, you’ve been warned.
