I think it told an important story of the human psyche and society and about how we’re all just animals in the end. Very dark, very gruesome, but damn is that story one that’ll stick with you.
I’d suggest this to people who want something that goes beyond macabre into the dark underbelly of how terrible humanity can be.
Well written and the pacing was done very well, but it was a lot.
I need to read something happy and cozy now.

It’s hard to explain, but this is one of the “filthiest” books I’ve read. It feels like it just stinks, and everything is covered in gore.
I absolutely loved the world building, and the plot itself was about as dark as it can get. I believe I understand the authors intentions in not telling us too much, but I feel like they could have gone further in depth surrounding the general events that led to the world as it is when the story takes place.
