I’ve been meaning to read this for the longest time. I’m quite glad I finally got around to it. This was an engaging read with some compelling comments on gender, sexuality, capitalism and freedom. I really liked how nuanced the author managed to make all of these themes. I also appreciated seeing multiple perspectives on the same scene or situations. It took me a minute to get into the story but by the 20-25% mark I was into it. Overall a solid read!

While the dystopian world building is grounded and level, I was disappointed by some of the (lack of) character development. Where the narrative does what good speculative fiction should do--exploring current trends played out to their potentially dystopian outcomes--it doesn't always hit the mark with treating each of its subjects fully. If you're only here for the plot, you'll have a good time (with lots of blood and gore), but if you're here for the thoughtful look into a potential future and characters who grapple with that future, look elsewhere.
