I enjoyed the sense of foreboding but found the vignettes too disconnected and confusing. There’s potential here with the dystopia presented but the chapters seem to meander around without much stakes it feels at times. As the book went on, stakes felt they went down?? There are a lot of details I feel are purposeful left vague but this hurts my ability to follow characters. One character I thought was dead came up in the next chapter and so then I was like are we in the past? I couldn’t keep track of what was happening a lot of the time.
