I want to start out with, “This is a very good book.”, because that is what I want to be the main point of this review. That said, this is a brutal book, particularly when read in the current day U.S. of 2023. Be prepared for that, if that applies to you. I think a lot of that has to do with timing of when I read it, in the wake of everything that has happened & is still happening in this world since this book was published. If this was not such a well-written book, I don’t know if I could’ve stuck with it to the end. I wish I had a little more distance from the real world to have been able to enjoy the experience of this book more thoroughly. I definitely plan on following up with Wayward but I need a bit of a break for my own sanity.
