The Sudden Appearance of Hope by Claire North

DID NOT FINISH: 46%

---

The overall premise had potential, but the othering of Hope, holier-than-thou commentary on other cultures, and inaccurate "facts" kept taking me out the story. The only reason I kept trying to read it instead giving up after the first super-problematic description of Hope (which was very early on) was because I was reading this for my book club. And even that wasn't enough to get me more than halfway through this lukewarm garbage.
