I already did not really like the first two books, because of the multiple problems with them - going from racism to queerphobia, the downplay of physical, mental and most importantly sexual abuse, the whole „man is greater than woman“ stuff which wasn’t exactly hidden and most importantly the blatant fascism, especially when it comes to government systems.
In this book, he definitely lost me after an actual discussion described in the book about how the biggest threat to the group is democracy? Hell no. 

I’m really glad I did not buy physical copies of the trilogy, because that would’ve been a waste of both time and money. 


Also, I can’t believe this book got even close to being nominated for an award award, much less to actually win one?? Rest just feels so goddamn wrong :/
