Oof, that was a rough read at times! I love a good dystopian tale and the idea of a government-mandated cannibalistic society is perhaps one of the most gruesome dystopian themes I've read about (and one of the most appalling, especially with the ways Tender is the Flesh explores that cannibalism leading to dehumanizing people in other, even more awful ways). Full review coming soon!
