I want to be mad about the ending, but I also feel like I can’t be mad about the ending.

5.0

This was a tough read (and I can't really say I "enjoyed" it in the traditional sense) but it was timely and well-written. Each character’s perspective feels unique and alive, and their actions are believable even when they're terrible. I felt like the demonstration of a person being seduced into doing increasingly awful things on behalf of a right-wing political party was realistic.

There is a description of a terrorist attack on a train.

A character is executed by hanging.
