I check out during fight scenes and this book has a lot of them considering the size. But in comes the discussion of eugenics and things really started to click into place for me. For me, this was a classic (and horrifying) hero’s journey.
Graphic: Racism, Gore, Violence, Animal death, and Racial slurs
Moderate: Torture
