   Reader note

   🔥 The most cruel thing about this book is that the heroine never curses. She just quietly appraises old things, and then says the most deadly words in the softest voice. "This layer of paint is post-coated." "It's not a flaw." "The hidden mark on the bottom of the bottle is your exclusive seal at the pawn shop." Every sentence is like the back of a bamboo knife - it doesn't cut flesh, but hits bones. # Wilderness recommendation #silent crushing
