I was a little scared going into this because I really wanted to like it, but I'm happy to say I actually really enjoyed this! I found that the beginning was very slow, and I wish it hadn't taken so long to get to the actual meat of the story. And I wish the ending had been a little less rushed. But I thought the writing was well done overall and every time it felt like the plot was slowing down a new plot hook was introduced, which is just smart writing. The body horror was something I wasn't expecting, but I think it added an element of grit the story really needed. The commentary on the perceived "good" and "evil" of society was so well done was very thought provoking, and had me thinking about Canada's military as "peacekeepers" that are sent to warring countries; are they really doing good there? A lot to think about with this book, plus it was also like, fun to read, there were a lot of instances I found myself laughing out loud.
