Review from The Black Farm →
This was not what I thought it was going to be. Honestly I think it would have been better if it was. There is so little explained in this book even by the end. Possibly because the author it sounds like might have a book two? Doesn’t matter to me, this was not my cup..
Amazing story but cannot bear Tom’s consistent mispronunciation of Akron — seems like something that should have been fixed prior to publication
over the top torture and sexual violence with very little pay off or character development

Perfect for anyone with a savior complex. Brutality for the sake of brutality. The female characters serve no purpose other than to be rescued.

This was a great read I couldn’t stop reading I can’t wait to read the second book
Worst book I’ve read in a long time. The world building is so boring given the concept and there is no sense of scale whatsoever. The characters are flat and the dialogue is so cringey at some points it makes you wince or laugh. It truly does feel like this book was written by one..

While an interesting concept this book has a severe lack of editing. There are many repeated phrases and words that become distracting and sort of irritating after awhile. The book has good bones and a good idea it just needed lots of revision and come off only half finished. Entire storylines were unnecessary and others..
This book was… gross. It’s an emetophobe’s worst literary nightmare. Especially the baby-birding between the two main characters at the end. I mean… what the heck?!? It’s extremely graphic when describing violence and vomit. There’s also definitely a sexual assault trigger warning needed. Dunno how I finished it, but I did… and I’m a little..

or possibly Silent Hill. Revolting torture, existential dread, and a hearty dollop or heteronormative love-conqures-all dreck. Shocking to listen to, but I won’t be re-listening or checking out this author any further.

really tough to get engrossed in the story as the narrator apparently believes he’s meant to be reading a bed time story. why is he whispering and speaking in the softest voice possible?
