I'm left speechless.
This book will make an impact on you, you will feel it, you want it or not. You will feel like Snowman, you will feel like the world has crumbled, you will feel like someone you liked and cared about just died. You will feel like you have to be loyal to Oryx and save Cake's children, because she asked, not because he did. You will notice so much that should have been only fiction but we had to deal with ourselves. Look, this is a book you would read again and again, if only it wasn't 400 pages long. I swear to you. It starts slow, and it picks up even slower, but when it does, you suddenly understand that you are driving down a hill and your breaks just broke. Damn, I want to read it again and look for things I didn't notice the first time.
I can't tell if Margaret is a genius or a prophet. But before you take this book, check the content warnings, there's a lot, even if most aren't graphic it's still there, some even don't have a dedicated warning, like experiments with animals.
