This book executed an idea perfectly. It takes a spin on an alien invasion through a joining in a dark utopia. The book explores many themes about the human experience, belonging, mortality and the function of suffering. I think that this book manages to lead you to certain conclusions without being preachy, and effectively show a spectrum of reactions to what is presented as such a positive thing. The first time I've read what would be a dystopian utopia story.
