Stayed up trying to get through a good chunk of it. It's been intriguing how the world building goes. Most so with the fact that the Commander wants a weird connection with her and that the driver is literally jealous in a world where he is not allowed to be. The wife also telling her to sleep with the drive because she knows her husband is probably all dried up makes me laugh.

Just got to the "unbabies" part where "there's a 1 in 4 chance" that your baby will be messed up, but "the greater the risk, the greater the glory" says Aunt Lydia. and then we are given the phrase "to go through all that and give birth yo a shredder, it wasn't a fine thought". Yikes!

Chapter 7. These chapters go so fast!

Starting the journey...
