Horrible Gothic horror brutality told with a dry, clinical tone. This book was a bizarre and shockingly violent ride.apiecalypsejen's review against another edition

I really enjoyed this book's themes of identity and autonomy, and the use of language to denote the state of the main character is fantastic, however I dropped a star because I felt the ending was kind of weak and I don't like tropes that involve a race of people being genetically predisposed to certain knowledge and this winds up doing that a bit. Overall though, if you want something original and you've got a strong stomach I would heartily recommend it.
