If you like the movie Inception, this book is for you!  One of the best I’ve read in a while. At the same time, be aware of the content warnings- it is definitely not a light read.

While lots of horrific things mentioned in the content warnings do occur, it is not the main focus of the book at all, so unless the mention of certain things is especially triggering to you, don’t let the content warnings fully dissuade you from reading the book!

It had the vibe of a bad Sci-fi movie in that it was fast paced, action packed, fun to consume, but requires a bit of suspended disbelief
