No matter what I write, I will not be able to convey just how good this book is.Knife is horribly disfigured and treated appallingly by the people of the town he lives in.

This was a surprise. I didn't think I would love this story as much as I did. Naef was born with a few physical defects, then puberty was a little cruel. After growing up abused by the villagers, he prefers to be called Knife and hardens himself to everything around him. When his sister falls in...
