This book is good. Would read again. Will be buying a copy. Eagerly waiting for the next book. The world Suyi Davies Okungbowa made is incredible.

I remember really liking this book when it came out. The story isn't bad. I've given up on cis-het male leads in books. The stories are all the same and the characters are all pretty much the same. It feels like someone's sad attempt at reliving the best part of their life, having already given up on the world we live in now. The story is alright overall.

This book is amazing. I don't know if I would have read it, if someone told me what it was about. It is sad. There is a ton of death and human suffering in this. I would recommend this book to anyone. It has themes that seem all to relevant. It is the idea of what could very easily happen to the United States, if capitalist greed continues to be more important than human life. Read it
