The two points I realized that this book was kind of dumb were when a set of characters unironically said “humans are the real virus!” and when a character who owns a human hunting preserve was explicitly said to own the Necronomicon. Can you be any more on the nose?

It’s a huge allegory for killing animals that I signed up for but I also got the point 20 pages in, and the book never actually did something with it other than play cliché misanthropy.

Ending is pointless and utterly at odds with the rest of the protagonist’s thoughts and actions. It’s not a good twist, it’s just a lazy “gotcha!”.
