4.5
this is a challenging read, as the pacing of the book switches from arduous torture to breakneck speed in the span of one chapter, and there is no central plot to anchor you down. if you want to analyze the text, what works for me is summarizing the key events of the chapter so i don't get mixed up because one chapter can cover 2 - 3 plot points or character arcs.
Graphic: War
Moderate: Incest, Sexual assault, and Sexual violence
