I highly recommend looking at trigger warnings before reading thism it goes in depth on the butchering, tanning, breeding process of HUMANS in a cannabalistic world. I dove into this without looking at proper TW, and even though I enjoyed the writing and the author very much, I wish I took a proper look into what I will be reading.

The strongest quality of this book is the writing, characterization and world building. We follow the main character through his days in a world where cannibalism is legalized and humans are genetically modified for commercial use. Every person in this story interacts with the cognitive dissonance of this world differently. Some revel in it. Others are in denial. Many have used the Transition to rise to power. That’s what kept me reading.  I was searching for anyone with a shred of compassion for the domesticated humans. By the end, I had my answer.

I would like to never think about this book again. 
I think every other review I've seen of this SERIOUSLY downplays the TWs. 
Regardless of the writing/characters/plot, this is seriously disturbing and for a lot of people it will NOT be worth reading.
