The Power of When by Michael Breus

dear Tade,
two chapters in i thought Kaaro was this cool detached psychic woman, with female friends, boss and colleagues, who could fight a zombie if she had to.
now a hundred pages in i find i’m following Kaaro a mean spirited guy, who sexualises women and their bodies at the drop of a hat, is never generous in what he thinks of others, and i’m reading gratuitous sex scenes with a girl and macho scenes where the guys gets to prove he’s in control even if the girl insisted on driving.
and don’t give me that “duh it’s nigeria” crap. it’s 40 years in the future, and my nigerian friends today are more evolved than this guy.
i feel betrayed. where i started a good sci fi i could disappear into i now get harangued by a character that thinks i’m either for f*cking or ignoring. it’s upsetting. would you follow a protagonist Nazi? i doubt it.
i don’t want to be around him, i’d rather forgo the story than be around him.
can i have a refund please?
