Reminded me of the movie the happening and the mist with elements from the last of us and under the dome thrown in. Took a while to get invested in the story. There does seem to have extra things thrown in. I did enjoy it. Felt like it had an abrupt ending. It was interesting to see all the elements of body horror, zombie, and dystopian all coming together in this one.
Thank you to Netgalley for the e-ARC!
Honestly, this is a complete mess. The first 30% is almost completely unreadable due to the way oyster and bird facts are spliced through right in the middle of scenes for several paragraphs. It breaks the flow of the story and makes it incredibly hard to follow what’s going on.
I liked Blas and Chango’s relationship (albeit, I liked Chango a lot more as I could avoid the bird tangents) but other characters aren’t at all notable.
There’s a lot of interesting ideas in here, especially near the end, but it’s buried in what feels like a painful first draft. There’s a lot that needs to be fixed before this can be published.

I don't know how I feel about this one. It was a bit monotone but the plot was wild.
I love books like this but it felt a little unanimated. I needed a bit more excitement in the tone. I don't think it was the narrator, it was just the tone of the book, wasn't right for me but I did love how it ended
