What happened to Dr Carr just came off as really unnecessarily vindictive and sadistic.
The bones sticking out of his legs were a little much. As was him being sucked out in space. And smashed against a wall. And it gets worse.
And Fizel and a bunch of others were speared like kebabs.
Didn't Chris say that he drew inspiration from real-life sources somewhere? I sometimes feel like I'm looking into the mind of a psychopath.
He even said the book was supposed to be about bodily autonomy, and yet this thing has violated Kiragon's entire being and she doesn't even seem to notice or care beyond a brief bit of whining before she just gets over it.
And then the message is later told, in one sentence. It's before the whole Staff of Blue thing, so I don't blame you if you missed it. It's when Kira is angry that she can't get drunk.
Also, the thing gives her period cramps again. That's not something to take lightly. And the doctor seems incompetent. It's either take it, or get hormone treatment. The dude doesn't even offer her a pain pill! Has women's healthcare tanked in the centuries in the future? Women do not have to experience bad pain!
With the bodily autonomy thing, just explain the "obscene embrace" think when Alan gets speared, Chris. GAAAHHH. So freeing to be joined to a dead man's body with a bunch of spikes, guys!
