dragonlord's Book Journey
Touched on a lot of socio-political topics and makes for great discussion. Honestly deserves all of the hype that it gets. I'm in a great place to not be grossed out by the descriptions, since I'm already vegetarian, but the slaughtering was so well-described while keeping in character with our narrator. My only complaint is that I want to know more about this world, I want more to chew on (pun intended), though at the same time I think the story itself was exactly as long as it needed to be.

Tender Is the Flesh

I feel like I'm in the minority here but I'm actually kinda bored by the book? I feel like everything that's happened so far has been given away by the premise like yes if we commercially slaughtered and sold humans that's how we would do it. There's just no surprise or shock for me there, we already do that with animals? The descriptions are so clinical and while I hate seeing blood and all that stuff in written from the gore is doing nothing for me. The only thing I found terrifying so far are the breeding centers. I think my biggest critique is that the story spends so much more time talking about the handling of corpses than the treatment of the still living humans?
