I'm so glad I waited for the right state of mind to read this. From the first chapter this was going to be dark and twisted but it's so good in terms of plot, character development and pacing. It's rotten and doesn't glorify the terrible acts the characters are exposed to or do. Rape, trauma, injuries, mind control, manipulation, an unreliable narrator... this has everythig. Many times I found myself not believing what I was reading and at the brink of frustration. I hated it, I love it. This reminds me so much of Mizushiro Setona's writing style in the form that it makes me feel empty and not able to trust anyone but then... a ray of hope... or not. Pure realistic portrait of the complexities of human emotions.
