trying to read more: women, BIPOC, and things focused on love and compassion. i still love my murder mysteries and horror. i'm new here and some of my books didn't import properly so expect weird bursts of activity and doing things wrong.

Not sure how I feel about this one just yet. Tom seems similar to Jared (Tickster). Definitely seems like the author has a soft spot for this type of character.

I get it but I don't like it:
"this book is a bit dull. similar experience to 1984. ugh, why do people like stuff like this?"
"It’s just finally getting interesting. I was so bored for half the book I mixed up some of the characters. I get why this is an important sci-fi text but I still don’t love it."
