I had to read this for a colleges fiction class. The plot concept is incredibly intriguing. The themes and subjects this book explores are very important and profound. I would never pick up a book like this on my own, as it's not SFF, but I did enjoy it the experience and the uniqueness of the novel.
Graphic: Racism, Self harm, Slavery, and Torture
Moderate: Rape and Violence
