I received an e-ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchanged for a fair and honest review.
As an American, what a simultaneously great and awful book to read today (Jan 20, 2025). Nayler once again crafted a (near-future) dystopian story to address the very real problems threatening the world. This book is (mostly) set in future Russia, however, The United States is well on its way to a future like this as well which is just…scary…..
I really enjoyed the many different points-of-view and the way Nayler used them to tell this story from so many different sides. If you loved “The Tusks of Extinction,” then you will enjoy this book as well.
