I read this book in one sitting, and I enjoyed the concept. I like the ideas it presents, but to me, it gets bogged down with poetic reflection and the plot is flat and two-dimensional. That being said, I like this addition to the world of the Giver and I appreciate the worldbuilding.
Graphic: Body horror
Moderate: Child abuse and Death
Minor: Animal death, Blood, and Child death
