5.0

This story is very, very dark, but also incredibly well-written and compelling. It provides a fresh take on both the dystopian genre and the sci-fi genre as a whole, mixing in historical elements (and symbolically representing, in my opinion, the frightening way that the past can become the future in regards to oppression). The characters narrating the story are all very complex and have interesting stories to tell. I can't really say I "enjoyed" it, but it was an excellent book and I absolutely would recommend it to anyone who can stomach the content.
