challenging
reflective
- Strong character development? No

2.5
Feels like something a 15 year old wrote that maybe won a short story prize and the author got overconfident and published it. There just wasn't anything likeable about it. At first I was like oh interesting pov, not all main characters have to be likeable. But the book as a whole didn't give me anything.
Moderate: Gore and Suicidal thoughts
Minor: Death, Colonisation, Injury/Injury detail, and Classism
Gore and suicidal thoughts elaboration
