This was not what I wanted it to be. In a world where humans eat humans there was very little that was actually explained of the world.

Marcos seemed to have become unravel because of his son’s death though the book makes it seem as though he is actually bothered by humanity’s solution to eating humans for nutrition.

There are a lot of controversial subjects brought up that just don’t get resolved. Things like an animal virus that may or may not be made up by the government so that they can require human flesh consumption to control human population. There was also the start of a “evils of factory farming” narrative which I believe would help the discussions in real life about how humans can preserve their way of living without having to eat meat. Overall, the length of this book hindered the plot, character development, and world building. The only reality this book shared was the struggle of familiar relationships.
