stopped reading, November 2023
rated 4/10: bad but could be read
The book starts with two girls being idiots. Either they are in serious trouble or this is a simplistic children's book.
Well, I read until nearly every caricature had been brutally killed. Yes, they are caricatures rather than characters.
So it's brutal and horrible. The title states the theme...
Except that this is book one of three. No, I can't see that anywhere on the cover :-(
I'm not enjoying the brutality. I do not want to wade through three volumes to get to the ultimate -- perhaps -- vengeful comeuppance.
I stop reading. If I already had all three books, it could be worth reading a bit further. But, there is no enjoyment. I stop.
