dark slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot

• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

4.0

Brutally depressing but if you’re in the mood for a queer look at dystopia and the climate crisis coupled with poverty, domestic violence, and child rape this is for you (it is actually good! Just depressing as hell)

The premise, themes, and setting of this book are really interesting and likely why I stuck with this story for over 400 pages. Otherwise the choppy storytelling, weird pacing, and lack of payoff for some of the major developments made for a disappointing finish
