The Hinterland is so elusive it took the author 200 pages to get there only to rush into an unsatisfying conclusion before we've barely even scratched the surface of a new world. Spent so much time trying to make you interested in the main characters only to have them be the two most insufferable pair in the book you'll wish the Jersey-Shore girl was the main character instead at least she was funny.

bookishgia's review against another edition
problematic discussions of racism and white privilege, the most insufferable main character who used her anger and virtuous violence to propel herself forward but had no regret or mind to the others around her. I stopped at 49% when some secondary antagonists came back on page urging Alice to unalive herself to "make a door" and save Finch, who was just revealed to have betrayed her. Extremely triggering for some and should not have been included
