Reviews with content warning for Rape - Blindness

This book isn’t scary in a traditional sense but rather scary to contemplate going through what the characters of the book do. I found the story very enjoyable, however the writing style was a little bit weird, I had switch to the audiobook version to keep everything straight. I also found some of the philosophical musings to be a bit much but otherwise I thought this was a very interesting look at an apocalyptic story.

Really dense read, but thrilling once you get used to the structure. The sentences run long, yes, but there is so much to cover here. Ultimately, I found myself having to sit in silence after finishing it. That's a positive in my mind.

this is one of those books that would take several reads to feel like you fully understand. not confusing, per se, but layered and full of details which must be sorted through and mulled over so that the significant ones can be separated from the insignificant.
