This book has such a cool premise and setting but I feel like we didn't really do much with it

3.5 stars. Very unique book. Felt very strange & surreal. I couldn’t stop reading it once I’d started. Can I recommend it? Depends on how weird & strange you like your books. Also, how’s your stomach for disturbing images?
“A heretic is just a priest who’s been found out, she had said. Some part of her had understood that we were all rotten. She should never have hoped for more than bald-faced hypocrisy and an occasional psalm from me.”

If Jeff Vandermeer and Octavia Butler sat down to write a story together, it would probably be something like this.
Desert Creatures is bleak, it's weird, it's sad, and surprisingly also a little hopeful. It reflects on the worse things need to get before they get better, without showing things getting better.
If that's not your vibe, you probably won't like it. I loved it.
