I did find the 3rd part to be a little scattered/rushed. Too many side characters introduced that only seemed to exist as a vehicle for the author to pontificate (the hunters/motel women). The ideas weren't bad, but they felt out of place, especially since those themes could have been addressed a little more naturally when Vern was making her way through the world earlier. The denouement action also felt a little tacked on after we had spent so much time immersed in the rest of the story.
Overall, really good though! I'll definitely be thinking about this book for awhile, and it filled a gap I was looking for.

A lot of warnings on this and it does deal with quite heavy subject matter. There are no graphic descriptions of rape/abuse, as all of this content happens off screen.contre_qui's review against another edition

Includes discussions of cults and cult behavior and the abuse inherent within cults. Includes hallucinations. The drug use is unknowing/non-consentual.just_one_more_paige's review
