This book had a gripping and terrifyingly realistic premise. The world-building was intense, and I couldn’t help but feel uneasy knowing that this is already happening in some parts of the world.
While I loved the overall premise, some of the characters felt a bit over the top, which made it hard for me to fully connect with them. That took away some of the impact for me.
