I didn't like the writing style. I also found the writing very repetitive. I don't see the reason for the hype. I couldn't get through it

This book has such a cool concept and I really really enjoyed it. It was a great mix dystopia and horror (body horror). I also liked the way the element of religion and religious trauma was applied. Additionally it was just a a very beautiful story about found family and queerness.
I would have liked to get to know the characters a bit better, because so many were introduced and then just not really elaborated on further, but overall I had a great time with this book. You really need to be okay reading about gore and violence though.

This was well timed for approval, as I read it for one of my selections for the trans rights readathon. It was my first book for the readathon, and what an incredible start. This book is so visceral and angry and alive. Truly, truly a work of art. It reignited my love for post-apocalyptic settings, and was a masterpiece of worldbuilding, with an utterly believable landscape. Benji, the MC, feels so utterly real and utterly human that you can’t help but become emotionally invested.

However I cannot stress enough the need to be aware of content warnings. I love horror and am not particularly bothered by body horror but there are some scenes that had me shutting my eyes to try and escape the imagery.

If you can cope with that, I cannot recommend this book enough.

Hell Followed With Us is a story ultimately about the trauma that follows queerness and fundamentalism that rejects it. When you are forced to grow one way, into a shape that does not fit or describe you. But it is also about love, loss and found family - and bead lizards. This was a hard and uncomfortable read at points as Benji describes the post-Armageddon landscape and the changes that they are going through as a consequence of it. I really enjoyed this book and will definitely be thinking about it long afterwards.

This book was fantastic I found the whole storyline great, and it was well wrapped up. I quite liked the representation and benji was a fabulous main character. As someone who doesn’t love horror or gore all to much, I adored this book. Looking forward to more from this author
