I felt so many emotions reading this - from disgust, sadness, anger to full on happiness. The multiple POVs can be a bit challenging in the beginning but they are needed for this kind of setting. Generally very tense, while it could get a bit long in some parts where the characters are just miserable and I was hoping for it to be over - but then something happened and we had movement in the complex story again. I guess it was kind of the point though? Everyone being miserable, still hard to read.
