The premise was intriguing, but felt too little explored. The ending also felt a bit rushed and fell flat in my opinion.
Overall this book touches on a plethora of very important topics not every author is willing to explore and I'm very interested to see, what else the obviousl very talented author can come up with! Reading this was a blast, despite a few issues I had with the story itself.
Moderate: Racism, Colonisation, and Cannibalism

As I got more into it, the storyline just seemed to fragment.
The author was talking about lots of different issues via the character and then when the real issue of how the centre work came through, I was surprised and kind of horrified but by the end it ended so abruptly, any progress or conclusion made was gone.
I would recommend this book for fans of Mexican Gothic, Earthling or Burnt Sugar because it is very claustrophobic and focuses on body horror as well as a very uncomfortable sexual situation that may trigger some people.
Some of the tangents in the book were just not developed as much as they could be but the narrator made this book incredibly engaging which is why I rated it higher than I would have otherwise.
