Gave up around 160 pages in. Despite the occasional beautiful sentence or philosophy, it too me around 50 pages to even orient myself to the world-building and narrative and overall lacked a cohesive story

It was fine. The first section of the book had good pacing and some increasingly tense and terrifying scenes that lived up to the marketing. The pacing in part two felt too slow and then the author decided to use sexual assault as a plot point, which was unnecessary. It turned me off the book for about a month before I decided to just finish it. The end was solid and duly gruesome with only a slight nod to some of the racial dynamics that may have been true in the 90s but probably could have been reevaluated for this story.
