Who Fears Death by Nnedi Okorafor

Did not finish book. Stopped at 34%.
I'm not sure if I'll revisit this book. I might need a break from it and get back to it way later. I'm not really meshing well with the back-and-forth tones where this book can't decide if it's YA or adult, an MC that is somehow both irritating and bland at the same time, and a narrative that doesn't know what it's trying to do so it's just throwing things at a wall with none of it sticking. None of the graphic content is really a problem for me in general, but this isn't written well and I'm finding myself more agitated as I read more. 

The straw that broke the camel's back was incredibly hollow FGM retconning and the persistence of sexual assault being super detailed but for some reason, we can't get the same from consensual sex scenes. I can't explain why, but it bothers me.
