Julius is probably the least likeable MC ever. The book takes us from birth to death and he's just a horrible person throughout, but Daphers still makes me enjoy reading it! The woman was a genius!

Oh and the blurb is so annoying it gives something away that only begins to happen on page 215 and only really on like 270 so that's really my biggest complaint (although I suppose it's a character study not so much a narrative so it doesn't matter too much).

Minor: Physical abuse, Suicide, and War
Julius is not a nice man and therefore he does not nice things. I think the main thing that shook me was just his personality and complete inability to love - wouldn't necessarily list this as a trigger warning just as something particuarly haunting
