An extremely disturbing and horrific society where cannibalism is normalized. Recommend as a really twisted, disgusting, and intriguing story.

This was good in the beginning but part 2 just got weird and not in a good way.

This book just wasn’t for me. I heard many great things about this book and how dark it was and I was pretty disappointed.

I felt like nothing happened until maybe the last 30 or so pages. It goes into detail about how they kill people like they would animals but it wasn’t much of a story for me. It’s a bleak world they live in but I expected there to be more of an actual story
