read the novel and oh my god. the horse part was genuinely revolting. my opinion is that no one should read this unless you just want to be disappointed. raymond's unwavering commitment to take revenge was the only good part. the novel just felt like it wanted to add copious amounts of rape and torture for the sake of it. also it's so convoluted i'm not even kidding like just kill him at this point bc what the hell is even going on
