A really tense and interesting read. The ambiguity of the circumstances the characters are stuck in makes you unsure of who to root for, of who is right and who is wrong, but that makes it all the more engaging.

A very good read, I couldn’t put it down. I don’t think I was ever really rooting for any of the characters, but that’s what made it great. You kind of hate all of them, and you kind of love all of them because of the ambiguity of the conflict. But yeah, a great, fast read with some great themes and quotes me.
