★★★★☆
There's an industry practice of blasting sand at metal to clean it, right? This book is like that - like I imagine it might be to be caught in a sandstorm. It stings relentlessly and at times you'll rally against it - the characters go from children to youths, and are as self-sabotaging as they are heroic - but when it's over, you're left raw in a way that feels spiritual - like you've come away with something new.
