💔 Book disappointment
: "Over 50% in this book but I don’t get what’s so grim dark about this book … I was expecting something more like Berserk / American Psycho level of torture gritty to read scenes , hopeless world. The Darkness That Comes Before will be my next read hopefully it’s what I’m looking for."
