The characters are interesting and made better by the narrator but the story is ridiculous. More to the point the writing is bad. it reads like a college assignment that requires the student to use as many archaic, over blown, excessive words as possible. To put it their way the author is a Sesquipedalian. Story has some big red flags for me. Main character is violent and amoral and uses sex with the other main to release this or post murder tension. For me this is a big no. Don’t waist the time on this one.
