1.0

1 star because the author actually managed to teach me a con-lang slang within 141 pages. 
If it weren't for that it would have been 0 stars.

The author wanted me to pity the main character, Alex. After all, he undergoes horrible things throughout the story. Thing is: he is such a terrible person and has done so many abominable things himself, that I no longer care about what happens to him. He deserved the torture and should have stayed brainwashed. The end ✨

First 2/3 of book are … slow. Last part & particularly the last couple of chapters were what really solidified it for me.
