Intense, dark, and gutting. Stupendous worldbuilding and pacing; Jeminsin is both confident in her readers' intelligence and attention, as well as in her own narrative voice throughout the book. Take the trigger warnings seriously—this book delves into humanity at its very worst, but nothing is for shallow shock value in this narrative.
