Severance

This was fine, it just didn't do anything me. Candace was so unemotional that I felt myself not caring about her situation either. I mean, if she was unconcerned then why should I be? And I have read so many dystopian stories at this point, I'm probably a bit fatigued. This one didn't seem to have much to add except an extreme fascination with capitalism. Higher end skin products, fashion labels and designer furniture- Candace cares about these things, and not much else. The flashback style wore on my nerves and no other characters were explored.
Sadly, it's also the case that the story comes alive and really picks up in interest in the last two chapters.
I think the title is perfect, however. Candace is severed from feeling things, severed from her art, severed from those around her, severed from her parents, just: severed. She's just kind of floating around while the world dies around her.
