I really liked this one, almost 5 stars from me. The world is very interesting, and it leaves me wanting more to understand how it all works. That is not the point though; the author leans into the human reaction to the circumstances and it is devastating. Would recommend to dystopian fans and emotional people looking to get into their feelings.
Moderate: Body horror, Confinement, Death, Panic attacks/disorders, Sexual assault, Sexual violence, Terminal illness, Police brutality, Dementia, Grief, Death of parent, and Abandonment
Everything is very vague
