I think my book club really hit on it when they said that the themes in this book were really interesting, but the execution is dated and feels a little sloppy. The idea of “the other among us” and the fear and xenophobia surrounding this trope is sadly as relevant today as it was in WWII. The characters are pretty flat, however, and Katherine and Joanna's storylines are just both deeply disappointing. I see how it set a lot of foundation for mutant tropes, but it wasn't really for me.
