Full disclosure, I got a free ARC of this book from Goodreads giveaways in exchange for an honest review.
This book is supposed to be a feminist story. Everyone ignores the women and doesn't care if they are dying in large numbers. Women are weak, vulnerable and unable to control their impulses. I miss 80s feminism which was all about girl power, careerism and being able to have it all.
That being said, the writing isn't bad. The characters were a little flat. I had trouble getting into the story. The premise is interesting, but the action is a little slow to start and with the flatness of the characters you don't necessarily care to hold on for it.
