I knew it was going to be horror but I was not prepared for the descriptions of that they did to create the daughter. I was also not prepared for the ending at all, aside from the… I did like the ending. I was annoyed that Gregor insisted Simon see the creature as their daughter and get him attached to her just to do a 180 a refuse to see her that way. It makes sense why but if I were Simon I would be so upset about that.

This was a really weird book. More grim than I originally anticipated for sure. I really wanted to see where it ended up out of gross curiosity. I could have done without the plant sex scene tbh but I suppose I should have seen it coming.
the narration style of the audio book isn't for me, but I it's still on my tbr and I want to read it at some point

Major disappointment. The story could have been every bit as beautiful as Bloom by Delilah S. Dawson but the writing was nowhere near up to snuff. The story could have been as impactful as Frankenstein but lacked the elegant grace of storytelling. The book could have brought me warmth and wholesome joy like House on the Cerulean Sea, but these characters were absolutely horrific.
The pacing was terrible and the story was completely flat from start to finish. The book contains the most inconsistent characters I have ever witnessed in a novel. The book has zero payoff and it wasn't even entertaining. I originally thought it a two star book but looking back at this completely forgettable story, I think I am going to have to give it a solitary star.
I would not recommend this to others, even if the cover is absolutely stunning.
