The plot slowed down significantly in the middle and required a bit of powering through, and parts of the ending felt a bit abrupt because of the difference in pacing, but I didn't mind that it wrapped up quickly, and it was satisfying both to have the mystery revealed and to have it fit so cleanly into the characters' arcs.

The story could have been edited down. There’s a lot that happens for the shock value or to make comments about other characters.

A character throughout most of the book is slowly dying from blood poisoning and I'm not sure if that'd fall under the 'terminal illness' tag or not, A character steals a grenade so that if he's in a fatal situation he can go out on his own terms, a character later in the book does something similarshieldbearer's review against another edition

I found the idea of a child being dehumanized, locked up, muzzled and naked at some points distressing throughout this book.tiemzahra's review against another edition
