Man, I did not enjoy reading this at all. I mean it was great, but it was also a major bummer. The novel opens in 2024 and feels prescient in a terrifying way. It's just a little too close to home here in 2022. (Well I don’t think we’ll be here in 2 years, but could see us there in like 10 years if things don’t shape up…)
She really doesn’t hold back here on the violence and the ugliness of the people in this society. There's a lot to think about here.
I think the world building (if you want to call it that) was brilliant, but the characters were lacking a bit for me. Also I did not love the dynamic with the main character and her much older love interest.
I didn't love this, but I will check out more Butler.
