I was intrigued by the concept on the back cover but early on it was evident this was not the book for me. Too much casual racism, sexism, and misogyny. It would be one thing if those themes were mentioned and then there was something done about them, but they were just there and did absolutely nothing to advance the plot. Just seemed that they were there for shock value if anything. I wanted to like this books but I couldn't get past the firsg five chapters.

coyotesdaughter's review against another edition

This book is one of the most disjointed works I’ve ever tried to read. Multiple stories that go nowhere, rampant misogyny, grotesque depictions of death and bodies, unnecessary sexually explicit detail and prose as thick as salt water taffy. 

This is my first DNF in 7 years, and it’s disappointing to say the least. I had such high hopes for this book.
