I am a hater at this point & I still have one more book to read. If you don't absolutely despise Michael by the end of the first few chapters, I am judging you. I find myself rooting for Lasher because he's a weird baby man punting incest bourgeois uteruses into the sun in hopes of furthering soft spot babyman kind & their unquenchable mommy milk fetish & I can never take anything seriously again. The noise I made when I read the chapter of newborn Emaleth banging an old dude for milk was so shrill it likely couldn't be detected by human ears. The only sympathetic character in this book emerges from a backstory fraught with casual racism & xenophobia all to immediately start a relationship with a 13 year old girl as a man in his thirties. Put me in the ground. I am tired.
