- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Loveable characters? Yes
3.5
A reasonably enjoyable book, especially for a debut. Didn't really feel creeped out or drawn in for most of it but the storyline was fine. And what an illustration of how oppressive systems turn women against each other, hated for competing for what scraps of power it allows them to hold, when they could question why there's only one way out and they can't all have it.
Graphic: Fire/Fire injury
Moderate: Violence, Murder, and Colonisation
Minor: Death, Rape, Sexual content, Death of parent, and Pregnancy
