Fascinating story. Good plot, interesting concepts, and high stakes hold throughout the book. The only part I didn’t like was how quickly new characters were introduced. The reader is expected to remember names / character traits almost immediately after meeting new characters at points.
Graphic: Vomit and Excrement
Moderate: Torture
