It’s hard to explain, but this is one of the “filthiest” books I’ve read. It feels like it just stinks, and everything is covered in gore.
I absolutely loved the world building, and the plot itself was about as dark as it can get. I believe I understand the authors intentions in not telling us too much, but I feel like they could have gone further in depth surrounding the general events that led to the world as it is when the story takes place.

The premise is very interesting and themes of humanity were very well discussed; however, those with weak stomachs should put down this book. I would say I have a fairly high tolerance for darker themes and graphic scenes, but even this book tested my limits.
Where the book lost me is, until the ‘twist’ at the end, the main character was very confusing to me in whether or not I was supposed to be rooting for him. I was decidedly not after he
I still gave the book a 3.5 because the world and ending is decidedly interesting, and if i could be more objective the rating would be higher, but reading is subjective and I would not recommend this book to most sane people. I guess that is what the author meant tho so there is a funny irony in there somewhere.
