Thank you to Netgalley for a digital ARC copy of this book.

I was surprised by the constant labeling of characters in this book only to pigeon hold them into tropes that are harmful and often not true. Why mention a character is a certain gender or ethnicity only to have them immediately be a ruthless murderer? 

I really had high hopes for this book and was hoping to enjoy it more than I did, but I instead I could barely finish it.
