I thought this was so dreadfully boring, I had to stop reading it. I like books that are much more compelling and interesting. There were pages and pages of descriptions, often repetitive that added no value to the story. Why spend 30 pages describing something that made no difference either atmospheric or otherwise. On to the next one...

A novel in the same vein as Lapvona. Ugly, mean, and disgusting it really wants it's readers to wallow in the filth. And you do.
