I am so sorry, but this is the worst book I’ve read in my life. Character development is nonexistent, the word monster ceases to have a meaning with how often it is used, women and disabled characters are used as props, and gratuitous violence and sexual violence that do nothing to move the story, just
violence for the sake of violence. Yeah yeah I’m sure it’s a metaphor for how humans were the real monsters all along but god it was almost impossible to sit through. I HIGHLY recommend not reading this book.
