I honestly loved it even though all the characters were awful people. I kind of figured that was the point

I remember liking it, but I read it long ago so don’t remember a ton of it. I might’ve liked it because it’s Literature and you’re obligated to like it.

I like the Shrike a lot, does that count as a character? I always imagined it as something cooler than depicted in a lot of art though, like something completely unreal, with angles and points that look like glitches in reality, like your GPU is trying to render something while its melting.
