The book started strong. We're introduced to a dystopian tech-advanced world, a beautiful, dangerous woman and a morally grey, witty man. What more could you need? I was sure hooked. Sadly, the more I read, the more the execution of the story fell flat, or rather veered in a completely different direction then what I had hoped for.

This book really took a turn from what I was expecting it to be. Really confused about the ravens and whatever weirdness happened with Mae and some old family? member.

I don't get why Mead didn't say they were straight up white people, maybe because of how bad it'd look if there was a county that only had blonde blue eyed white people that persecuted any other look and focused on racial purity???

Okay, so Mae isn't actually Finnish. The whole Nordic thing is code for White. The whole racial segregation thing is getting worse.
She's literally having a Southern debutante ball, and there's nothing Finnish about her? She speaks the language, but she's doing a bunch of upper-class Southern cultural traditions.

I don't think Mead meant to have race/racism so deeply intertwined to a purposely mixed race society, but it this book is so racist?? I think she's trying to go for xenophobic, but it's coming across as racist. I also don't get why this dystopian USA is primarily made up of mixed asians?? I get that everyone became mixed race due to a genetic thing, but wouldn't there be more Black or Hispanic mixed race people??

Even in scifi dystopian Latin America, machochismo is still prevalent.

Not a fan of casual Latine racism. He's literally in Panama as a refugee and constantly going on about how awful the country is and how ugly the people are? It's just an odd choice to make
