4.5
I really loved this book. It blended informative historical context with an intriguing and fateful narrative. 4.5 only because things resolved in a way I didn't quite understand, and it fell a little flat compared to the brilliance of everything else.
Content Warnings
Moderate: Gore, Homophobia, Sexual violence, Xenophobia, Antisemitism, and Murder

This was an interesting read but an absolutely brutal one. Very bleak so read with care, especially if you’re Jewish, queer, disabled, or a woman.
