2.5
The story? The story was phenomenal. I could put the book down, I can see why it's so highly recommended... but I also can't.
I am giving this a 2.5⭐ rating even though the story was good because there's unnecessary and disgusting ableism. This would have been 5⭐ if it wasn't for the ableism.
On two separate occasions I (a disabled person) found myself disgusted with this book. The first was a POV for one of the death-cast employees. This death-cast employee talks about not caring about deckers and dehumanizing them. The author introduced her as a cane user for the sole intention of making her appear bitter.
The second occasion was so much worse. The author introduces another POV of a character with muscular dystrophy who [TW: terrorist attack] *blows up a building killing countless people with no remorse out of anger at his disability* This is horrendous, and unacceptable. I cannot rate a book 5⭐, no matter how good the story was, when the author needlessly portrays disabled people like me as *terrorists* because of our disability.
