This is going to be a stupid reason but this book made me feel uncomfortable. I am not in the proper mindset to read and appreciate this book, but I would absolutely revisit it on a later date. It is obviously a commentary on the privatization of the prison system and how it exploits inmates, which everyone should learn about and its other slew of problems. 

In particular, I could not get further in the book because of TW: SA

some random man going up to Thurwar and groping her while she is handcuffed under the guise of being a fan of hers

. It really irked me and made it difficult to continue on without thinking of it, which makes it difficult to focus on the main point (even if that scene is representing its own point as well). I think I would consider starting from where I left off at a future date so I don’t have to reread that bit.
