i feel confident in saying this one was 5 stars I think. idk how to describe this other than masterclass. it feels very hard to me to write good dystopia that is relevant to a modern era. this is a very resonant book coming just out of a pandemic. and it is well done in its resonance but also does not hinge on the pandemic setting to give it is validity. its also a scary reflection on the things that people value and care for and how that influences our approaches to life. i think that it is so nuanced and attentive and caring for the future generations it contends with and it has characters from so many variant walks of life. it was just super enjoyable to read. i was very grateful to dig into this one. 5 stars.
