dark
tense
fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Strong character development:
Complicated
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
In retrospect, reading this back to back with All My Rage may not have been my GREATEST choice.
But they're also very different in many ways. I'm always weird on psychological thrillers—and it definitely helps when there's a scifi element—but Gailey is very good at what they do and what they often do is make you *extremely* uncomfortable in all the ways that fiction can. This book is no exception and the story she tells—how we come to see others as human and how we come to see them as ours to manipulate—uses the premise extraordinarily well. It was a gut punch of a book.
