the misogyny and the random antisemitism was striking at various points in the book, but i think it still had a lot of merit in its other aspects and had a lot to tell the world. some philosophy related to the three siblings i’m still not done parsing in my own mind, so i’m not sure how much of it i agree or disagree with. but fuck graff and rackam, and i hope the buggers kill humanity when they come back. i won’t be continuing this series.
