You have no idea.


I totally get it, though. The way they are written - you /should/ be going in blind. "Oh a weird dystopian society, okay" AND THEN SHIT GETS REAL. And I like knowing that her publicist isn't giving everything away. Because I've seriously spoiled so much for you in this conversation in my attempts to get you to read them... like I honestly feel bad.

But also the summaries are silly and don't give you any sense of what you are walking into.

I just really, really love a series that is based on the precedent of: "if I am of ________ faction, then all my motivations are clear and I know exactly how to respond to things and why" and having to watch a brain determine how that doesn't work and why and stretch into itself.

Like a subjectivity narrative on over drive.

With a cutie couple and Foucault-isms and flawless, multi-faceted ladies.

And a female protagonist who is a non-sentimental grouch.


It's everything I love.
