4.0

I very much enjoyed this book, although I don't think it was quite as good as the first. That said I feel the first was so strong it might be hard to live up to.

Content Warnings

Graphic: Religious bigotry

Moderate: Animal cruelty, Blood, Grief, and Violence

Minor: Suicidal thoughts, Death, and Police brutality

Note the religious bigotry and police brutality are in the context of an entirely different political and religious system. The effects are similar to both life and other dystopian books. Animal cruelty is not onscreen but the harmed animal features somewhat heavily at one point and is quite closely described.
