I'd rate this higher if it wasn't for the constant sexual content of minor characters :/

Honestly there is so much heavy stuff in this book it'd be impossible to list it all, this book is not for the feint of heart and if any of the tw's contain a trigger of yours I'd advise to steer clear from the book, it's a good book but it's extremely heavy and disturbing

Finding it hard to rate this book. I liked some of the elements of the story: post-apocalyptic, feminism, patriarchy, high control society, witchcraft, and ghosts. But they didn't really fit together well in terms of plot. And the F/F romance feels a bit superficial, kinda insta-lovey in a disappointing way. Ending is left open for a sequel, but I'm unsure if we'll get one.

Check out the trigger warnings, there's a lot in this book.. Very misogynistic society.
