This is hard to classify. It's so very different from other Sparkle Hayter books but I guess that's part of what made it enjoyable. I took me a while to get into the book's universe but upon reflection it wasn't nearly as different from our current s***hole society. I laughed out loud at Auora's revenge. I would pay good money to see some politicians/oligarchs/billionaires uncontrollably jerk around, slap themselves, and pee their pants. I'm laughing just thinking about it!
