    This is the book, this is the book you absolutely must read! There's no female lead; the protagonist is ruthless and decisive, and practically never appears! My personal advice is to read this book without any preconceived notions of humanity, morality, or values! Those with a saintly, idealistic mindset, please stay away!!!
