Protagonists are not good people. The situation sucks, the people suck but have tiny redeeming qualities. You don’t feel glad when the protagonists have a win. Story and plot were ok. I only finished it to see how things ended up, but didn’t feel good about reading any page of this book.

So many thoughts about this one lmao 

• great concept but it wasn't executed/developed to its full potential (aka character development suffers, not enough worldbuilding)
• messed up world and messed up protagonist obvs 
• disturbing, dark, lots of gore, lots of violence and sadistic scenes insert a bajillion TWs
• Nita and I would have so many issues with each other lol She's just an asshole and I absolutely hate the what-the-fuck kind of choices she makes, they don't add to her character, she highkey failed Critical Thinking 101
•  also also aLSO the only reason I rate this one higher compared to the other ones is that this one actually has some fucking plot
