My biggest problem with this book is I had a lot of difficulty with that immersion aspect. Unlike other books I’ve read, I can easily imagine the setting or the characters. And while the author has great descriptions, I still wasn’t able to picture a lot of what was happening.
While I loved the characters, they are also detached from the reader in a way, where you know a little about them but not enough to create a connection.
For me, this book was only a 3 star until I got to the last quarter of the book where a majority of the action took place, which also could have been elongated.
Moderate: Murder
Minor: Incest, Rape, and Suicide

I definitely recommend this read; however, please be aware of the TW/CW (listed below).
Graphic: Infertility, Racism, Misogyny, Transphobia, and Homophobia
Moderate: Mental illness and Sexual content
Minor: Rape, Suicide, Gun violence, and Animal death
Additional TW/CW: There are a couple of brief conversations about a pandemic (everything being closed, people being stuck at home due to German measles) that could be triggering, especially during these COVID-19 times. There is discussion of a human being castrated, with some minor description.olivedean's review against another edition
