Nope nope nope. Too much cannibalism. Didn't know what this book was about before starting it and that is not something I want to read about as some kind of dystopia on my holiday. Or ever really.

velvet_shrimp commented on Children of Virtue and Vengeance by Tomi Adeyemi
I am still hoping for the characters to get a break at some point, but it doesn't look promising. Mistrust, death and destruction everywhere.

Especially men, though I doubt many will. I didn't know most medical trials only include men "for simplicity" which results in medication not working as well or at all for women. Many other points are mentioned where women are disregarded in planning for transport, architecture, taxation systems etc. resulting in disadvantages that affect women's lives disproportionately. This is wild considering that this is half the population.
