From ages 9-16 he was abused SA and tortured. So sickening.

At 9 years old his mother disgustingly brought him to a pleasure house. Gross. No wonder he’s messed up.

Sad face, so much death the next morning on innocent people and the nastiest deaths.

Terren and the fish, what actually happened. How he got hurt in the leg. Hurt people, hurt people.

Maro learns that what he did to Terran caused him to turn evil instead of being caring he’s now a tyrant.

This is so sad. Mario finally snaps at his brother and severely hurts him. This is talking about what pressure and self doubt does to someone already at the breaking point.

The purpose of this story, perspectives.

“Power is such a wicked thing. Razing everything in its path, consuming all, leaving none untouched. Not even the kindest of souls among us are spared, once they have had so much as a taste .” ~Hesin

This story is pretty violent, lots of trams all around but it’s interesting and written in a way that makes you want to keep reading to see where it goes. I have a feeling this will be one of those books I will wish I could read it again for the very first time.
