The Exile Kiss

Effinger's depiction of a dystopian future feels so vivid and immersive. I'm curious whether the setting was inspired by real-world issues or purely imagined.

His decisions often blurred the lines between right and wrong, making me wonder how much of that was intentional to challenge perceptions of justice.

The suspense kept me hooked, but I was also thinking about how the plot twists reveal deeper questions about identity and trust.
