A very fast paced, witty and clever book that clashes with the serious topics even touching on gore. When we talked about it on our podcast, we both had the same reaction. We both didn't know if we liked it but we read it almost in one go. Check out our podcast episode 45: https://bit.ly/45YaZA3

Parker's novella revolves around fate and mercy and justice and inherited sin. It's more philosophical and religious than I thought, but not in a bad way. There were a lot of moments when I agreed with the protagonist.

Tired of reviews yet? Promise this is the last for the moment, I'll post more tonight or tomorrow 😁🤪
