Loved this book, and as I biologist, I loved the Biologist’s thoughts and felt myself low-key relating to the sadistic need and search for knowledge at one’s expense. The atmosphere was amazing, I was gripped by the sense of danger, unease, and at times dream-like quality. I’m looking forward to reading the sequels to better understand the sudden ending.

The vibes I get is either you’re going to love this book or hate it with little in between. The narration is detail oriented to a fault and I feel it perfectly suits a scientific protagonist, and I find the perspective of a scientist who’s slowly eroding witnessing nigh indescribable events to be peak fiction.

Maybe I just love women transforming. A gaming friend recommended this to me because he thought I could relate to the protagonist. I feel called out but I enjoyed it immensely.

This was… strange. didn’t vibe with the narrator so it was a bit of a drag to finish, but man was it wild. nothing like the movie, in good and bad ways.

will be reading the next one! or at least trying a sample of it before deciding to not
