Definitely not for the faint of heart or weak of stomach. If you winced at some of what HBO showed in their Game of Thrones adaptation, steer clear, because this goes much further. I’m curious how far Amazon went in their adaptation, but I know they kept at least some of the extreme gore.

That said, I found it a compelling and thoughtful story about the dangers of unchecked power and the cost that doing something distasteful but necessary can exact on one’s soul.

Not sure exactly what I’m going to tackle next, but there’s a good chance it’ll be the Jennifer Blood series that was included in the same bundle, about a woman who’s a suburban housewife by day and a vigilante by night.
