But even more than that, it unleashes fire and fury on the elite, those that put the systems of oppression in place and those that uphold them. The two agree to keep his genetic infection a secret as long as Benji agrees to use his abilities to protect the ALC. I struggled with the writing at times, the pacing, and I personally didn’t connect to the characters. vivid descriptions of guts and rot and disease that brought the world down, but at its heart it’s a story driven by humanity and the resilience of people. One of the things that really stood out in Hell Followed With Us is the body horror and grotesque descriptions, because that's what hits you first.

Hell Followed With Us is a fantastic, fresh breath of air in the YA horror scene, mixing dystopian narratives with intense body horror, zombie-like monsters (and a protagonist who is becoming one), and the unpacking of religious trauma that so many queer kids and adults will find hitting all too close to home.Horrific murders of prostitutes whose identities point to associations with the Wadsworth estate prompt Audrey to start her own investigation, with Thomas as her sidekick. Character motivations also end up suffering from this overall lack of consistency, making scenes either feel trite and predictable, or baffling due to a lack of coherent character writing. Andrew Joseph White has dared to create a story where queer kids of all stripes love, fight alongside, and care for each other despite their personal differences and the myriad of things looking to kill them. I really enjoyed the Queer and Neurodivergent rep, and the fraught, toxic relationship between Benji and Theo. Sixteen-year-old trans boy Benji is on the run from the cult that raised him—the fundamentalist sect that unleashed Armageddon and decimated the world’s population.

On paper this book sounds amazing and even groundbreaking, and despite my heavy reservations, I'm glad to see a book like this one being published and promoted already fairly heavily prior to its release! You pick your way through the wreckage, the two of you silhouetted in evening light like the end of an era. In the aftermath of a plague, a furious transgender boy seeks to end the movement that plans to wield him for their genocide in the name of salvation. The issue is, if I didn’t get a whole depth on the Nazareth World / the Angels, how was I supposed to get a grip on the revenge plot? the author has so many ideas that he's clearly thought about for a while and I loved the reading experience.I'm done begging for a scrap of respect-I am done with those who enact suffering, and I am done with the sons of bitches who stand back and let it happen.
