2.5

lots of open plot points at the end. the pacing was terrible. and the book brought up so many different social issues, which is great, but uses them like buzzwords and has a very surface level exploration of them in relation to the Centre and its founders. unnecessary rape scene (not violent, but not vital to the story). lots of detail about things that eventually don't matter by the end
