   The opening isn't particularly striking, but it gets increasingly addictive as you read on. The female protagonist is ruthless and taciturn, and the story is composed of numerous short, often explosive, igniting anger in the reader while delivering a satisfying punishment for the villains. Many of the stories are rooted in reality, a stark reminder of the deteriorating state of human nature! Highly recommended.
