I am the sterile offspring of a race about which I know nothing, not even whether it has become extinct. Perhaps, somewhere, humanity is flourishing under the stars, unaware that a daughter of its blood is ending her days in silence.
Such a frustrating book! Not a single question is answered and we're left wondering from start to finish. And yet the bleakness of everything translates into a real affection for the characters, even the minor ones. These women were left abandoned to a world which was unable nor willing enough to care for them, and even they knew from the very start that they never stood a chance against it.

when i picked this up i was more expecting it to be about a small group of women being held against their will by men for nefarious reasons, rather than it being a dystopia where so many people were in these bunkers for a reason nobody knew, so it was a surprise when i got into it and realised it was that, and i canāt say i hugely enjoyed it just cuz this genre isnāt really my kind of thing, but i did find a lot of the points the main character made very reflective and interesting, and found myself relating to her in some ways, despite her situation being so far from anyone on earthās.Ā
it was cool to challenge myself to explore a genre iām not usually into, but i donāt know if iād do it againĀ
