octavia_cade 's review for:

The Shade of the Moon by Susan Beth Pfeffer
1.0
dark medium-paced

I liked the other books in the series, but this one just didn't do it for me. I am so over dystopian narratives that rely on sexual abuse and vicious degradation to elicit some sort of reaction. This is the low-hanging fruit of dystopian science fiction, and there's not a lot here that elevates it. It's just misery porn at this point.
