4.5 -- Wow this was a POWERFUL read. I was probably one of the very few people on the face of the planet that like Razorblade Tears but wasn't wowed by it. I was wowed by this one. Titus was an amazing main character that is caught between a rock and a hard place when it comes to his town, his position, and his duty. This will definitely end up in my top 10 of the year. I feel like I can confidently say that, even in January. It was that good.
