I actually liked this!! I feel like there was not as much world building in the beginning as I needed; there was a lot of character backstory. Which is fine! But a lot of the world building happened along the way. It had me continually being like “huh, I never would’ve thought of that” so it was kind of cool. The cover of this book is freaking stunning. I listened to it on audiobook and really preferred that.
Content Warnings
Graphic: Abandonment
Moderate: Animal death, Blood, Cannibalism, Child death, Gun violence, Medical content, War, Xenophobia, Death, Gaslighting, Medical trauma, Murder, Sexual assault, Confinement, Sexual content, Trafficking, and Violence
This book is set in a world where the entire place is flooded. I guess drowning/oceans/etc could be a content warning for some.
