When they start putting trigger warnings on books, this one will need several. There's a lot of raw unpleasantness here and honestly, for the first third of the book I felt like the author was trying to prove how “hard” she was. By the time I was finished, I appreciated the not nice-ness as necessary to the story and really got into the characters. But its prose is very sparse and I would have liked more in some places where this “less is more” philosophy seems to hamper my understanding of what's happening between the characters. Also, I would have liked more talking crows.

A big fat thank you to whatever publisher it was who sent me this free copy for review.
