  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

4.0

This book is deeply disturbing, but in a way that makes you think, not solely for the shock factor. I gave it 4 stars because on top of all the disturbing human meat market plot, they decided to add a sprinkle of animal cruelty which is something that I try to avoid. TBH it was my fault for not looking for trigger warnings. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed this book and the ending left me in shock.
