I loved this book. I was rooting for the main characters hard, and the author even managed to have me missing the characters that are picked off earlier. The book managed to weave in several ideas - the author mentions school shootings and forcing children to hide, but there’s also clearly class warfare and commentary on the rich acting like they get somewhere without the work of the poor. Forcing a sacrifice from the little people while maintaining that being wealthy is owed to them. The horror was great, the characters were great, and I even loved how it ended, despite how much I would have enjoyed spending more time with this world.
