A fascinating concept that just doesn’t quiet make it there for me.
Manhunt has a lot of good ideas behind it, but mostly fails to take the lore and setting and form it into an interesting plot. It gets invigorating at times, but the last hundred pages or so introduce a lot of new ideas, characters and alliances that I couldn’t keep track of. It’s still an unbelievably cool transgender apocalypse novel though, gory and weird and sort of heartfelt at times. I’m definitely gonna be thinking about this one for a while.
