While this book is extremely disturbing at points, it's also one of the most beautiful things I've ever read. Bazterrica has a way of expressing emotions in words that are often so hard to describe. 
It is a very heavy book, but also quite short. The impact, however, is massive. Definitely one that stays with you.

Odd book, really struggled to get into this. The mysterious cult after the end of the world felt kinda played out and the resolution seemed obvious. The end of the world lore was kinda cool though.

A nice take on dystopian fiction, looking at a specific sliver of the population that develops their own twisted society.
