I found it hard to put down with all the information about the murders and his and his wife's trial, the hardships and suffering he had whilst growing up, and the pressure he was placed under to make things perfect for his wife.
I feel slightly odd saying this considering after all said and done Martin was a murderer but I did feel a little sorry for him it seems like even back then the pressures of society to be 'perfect' pushed people to do things to survive.
A very insightful read with a lot of information about the case. I thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend you read it.

The main character, a Chosen One, misses out on her calling because of a drug addiction. There’s also great deprivation because of the social hierarchy in this world. It’s a caste system based on the colour of a persons blood.
There are themes of oppression, class, division, poverty and addiction. There’s a Trans main character (and others besides), and this isn’t a society that is prejudiced against LGBTQ+ people, in fact there’s support for those who want to transition. Women hold positions of great power in government and on the battlefield - and they’re just as able as their male counterparts. Often better.
This is a chunky book and a fast read regardless of that. I’m really looking forward to reading the rest of the trilogy.
