So Protestant. Knock off Hunger Games. The book is boring until you get to the games. The games were interesting to read. It wants to say something about justice and race and class. But it just doesn’t—like I said, knock off hunger games. Idk if I’m just tired of rebellion books or what. Also I can’t stand the MC. So annoying, condescending, and full of himself. Also there was literally nothing about this that was sf besides the setting.
Graphic: Gore, Gun violence, Misogyny, Racial slurs, Racism, Slavery, Torture, Murder, Colonisation, War, and Classism
Moderate: Animal death and Blood
Minor: Panic attacks/disorders, Rape, Suicidal thoughts, Suicide, and Cannibalism
