In the third book of 2084 by Kadon Landon Peterson, February is no stranger to pain and disgust at a young age. She knows her father as a satanic figure who ended the world, slashed his wrist right before her eyes, gave her a chunk of his meat to eat, and left her. She does not understand why her dear mother glorifies him, but she carries out her mother's last wish and searches for him. After four years of mining alone, February is excited to detect signs of life on the other side of the tunnel, but her life takes a turn after a tense encounter with Cleo and her master, Seth. As February interacts with the zoomorphic people in the institute Seth takes care of, she learns the brutal truth of her life mission as well as her role in a world where everyone can be cosmetically and genetically altered. Will she have the strength to follow through?

The characters of this book operate on values and attitudes entirely different from those that the readers are used to. It creates a jarring reading experience. It is not surprising to find their views on gender, sexuality, and ethics to be alien at best and deeply troubling at worst. For example, Seth and many of the zoomorphic individuals within the institute embody rigid and dualistic notions about gender. The portrayal of humans and zoomorphic individuals engaging in physical intimacy is shown as casual and normal. Even February, the main character who is gifted with the entirety of human knowledge since birth, has her own prejudices. This book is deliberately explicit and uncomfortable. The discomfort will drive many readers away, but it also presents an opportunity to contemplate themes of intimacy, dominance, submission, boundaries, and consent in a safe and thought-provoking way. Readers can also confront their own assumptions about what makes a relationship meaningful and fulfilling.

To sum up, I do not have anything negative to say about this book. If you are interested in stories that feature religious motifs, foreign moral frameworks, philosophical discussions regarding sex and neuroscience, anthropomorphic animals, explicit content, and deliberately confusing plot lines, the third book of 2084 will be worth your time. I only found two errors while reading, so the editing is great. Therefore, I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.
