It focused so hard on the gore of it all that the really interesting psychological aspects were buried. I was expected to take a lot on faith as a reader, which fine, but then the main character doesn’t even trust that the virus is real.
I needed the book to be from any other characters perspective. She took the most boring character in a cast of very interesting characters.
The story felt weirdly stilted. We got huge internal dialogue pieces and then the ending is so rushed. It felt very off.
The premise was good and I wanted to love this book but it just was not what I wanted it to be.

Mi hermana me recomendo este libro. He sido vegetariana desde hace 2 años ya, y mi hermana sabía que disfrutaría este libro de una manera macabra.
Las descripciones de Bazterrica son de las cosas más grotescas que he leido en mi vida (en la mejor forma posible). Ese mundo distópico que creó no se siente tan lejano. Amo como algunas preguntas no se resuelven através de la historia, lo cual hizo que el libro se sientiera más real (?).
Los personajes están muy bien caracterizados. Amé como Bazterrica no nos tenía que decir como eran las personalidades de ciertos personajes, ella solo nos lo mostraba através de sus acciones.
De verdad me gustó esta novela, y la recomendaría a los lectores de estómago fuerte.
