I didn't finish this book, but I got about 20% of the way through it. The characters drop the f-slur, derogatory statements are made about autistic people, and I was trying to force myself through, telling myself that the author was making the characters intentionally unlikeable. He may have been. What broke me was when one of the officials explains that the government doesn't stop the Witch because it would result in "over 3000 deaths, as many as who died in 9/11"... the soul crushing reminder of pre-Covid naivete, compounded with the fact that I hate all the characters, was just too much.
