 I binged this in three days but it made me, um, really mad. The final 1/3 or so was violent in a way that truly repulsed me. I am struggling to articulate my thoughts, I'm sure other unfavorable reviewers have already said it better than I could.

The concept was really interesting but the ending left me with so many questions. Also some POVS were very boring. Definitely look up the trigger warnings before reading this
