This is a splatterpunk horror novel. There is very little feel good moments in this book, if any. Absolutely not for everyone and even if it IS for you make sure you're in the right headspace.

The first chapter is fairly representative of the kind of "gory splattercore" (as it says in the ending acknowledgements) that this book has.

This book is unhinged, violent, vulgar, provocative, and wild in the best way possible. 
This dystopian/horror is the first one I have really enjoyed in a long time.
I will be thinking about this book until the apocalypse comes 

Very minor spoiler: JKR gets her comeuppance.
