If this were short it would be almost five stars. I got a few hundred pages in and got tired of how much more I needed to go. I'm not a fan of how sexualized the female characters are. The amount of sexual assault and rape there is, is overkill. I get it is to really assert how horrible people are but I think it was overdone. The ending felt rushed and the reason for the dome was weird and disappointing.
Character development and setting the scene was well done.
I would not recommend this book since it's so unnecessarily long as well as my other thoughts mentioned above. I would recommend an audiobook version over a physical copy if you did want to read it.
I don't regret reading it but i wouldn't go through the effort of reading it again. I think it's over hyped.
