It really choked at the end, which felt rushed.  Overall glad I read it, but it feels like a shadow of books like Annihilation and Inspection which do the same thing but feel more complete.

4.0

i cried near the end and i didn’t expect myself to, BUT i felt it could’ve been written a little better. plus that one scene is just too close to… something and i didn’t really enjoy that and there’s no content warnings for me to put on it so like :// idk
