TTT: Settings I don't ever want to visit thanks to a book

TTT: Settings I don't ever want to visit thanks to a book 

This is a tweak on today's topic, but I've previously created a list of places I'd like to visit due to descriptions in a book. See that list here. So today I am listing the opposite: places I don't want to visit.

Setting: Arrakis

Book: Dune by Frank Herbert

Reason: Dust and giant worms 

Setting: Moon Colony #2

Book: Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel

Reason: The fake sun isn't working and the colony is forced to live in twilight

Setting: West Texas

Book: Valentine by Elizabeth Wetmore

Reason: Inhospitable landscape, dry and dusty

Setting: North Korea

Book: Without Your There Is No Us by Suki Kim

Reason: Complete governmental control over everyone's lives

Setting: The Amazon River

Book: State of Wonder by Ann Patchett

Reason: SNAKES (big ones) and curare-wielding natives

Setting: Small village in Nigeria

Book: The Girl with the Louding Voice by Abi Dare

Reason: Women treated like second-rate citizens, not allowed a complete education. 

Setting: Aleppo

Book: The Cat Man From Aleppo by Irene Latham

Reason: War and devastation

Setting: Panem

Book: Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins

Reason: That the government would think that a game where 19 children die in competition with only one winner is a good idea.

Setting: Kamchatka (Siberia)

Book: Disappearing Earth by Julia Phillips

Reason: the remote setting in Northeastern Russia
