Ever come across a plot twist so incredibly stupid and contrived it feels like it was made in a lab to piss you off.
Somehow the editing gets worse as the book goes on. I can only assume that literally no one aside from Audra read some of these later scenes.
Narah is a Temu version of Lace Silksong I will not be taking questions.
All the lore reads like "And here's another clue for you all: the Walrus was Paul."

This book is like 300 pages but it's taken me almost two months to get 60% of the way through. Take from that what you will.
How is this still going.

There's been like four separate times in this novel where a rape implication has been dropped out of absolute nowhere. Chase is alone with Reika? The text implies she fears he'll rape her. Chase pushes Reika out of danger? Reika implies a rape connotation. Reika doesn't know who her blood dad is? He must've raped her mom and run off!
I know I of all people have no right to say this, but have some tact good lord.

There is a scene in this book where our main character remembers getting whipped by her teacher like an actual slave as a child. This scene comes out of nowhere, and is only present so, I am not making this up, Reika can realize that the person who stopped her from getting whipped is a character she just met. What is this. Why did no one stop this. Why did Audra Winter think this was a good idea.

How am I only a third of the way through this. Why does this feel like it's longer than Infinite Jest. Why is any of this happening?
Y'know, the typos and bizarre grammatical stuff, what really gets me about this book is how little anything is explained, and how little reason you're given to actually care. Audra Winter just assumes you care about her world as much as she does, and that's a fatal mistake indeed.

“I hate how the Hub blocks out the dark skies,” Chase rambled
on, reaching his arm out—his long arm out—to pretend to trace the Stars
with his index finger. He was tall. Conveniently tall. 6’4”, maybe 6’5”.
With arms that looked like they could reach the top of the arch."

Started reading this out of morbid curiosity, and it's worse than you've heard. Every paragraph is like walking on the sidewalk but then suddenly the concrete disappears and is replaced with ice.
There's a moment where the narrator explains what she means when she calls her father "Dad."
I'm not joking.
"Dad, Avia's father and my adoptive father, had drawn it for me years ago..."
