The writing style was interesting and the story captivating but I couldn’t explain anything about it to someone else. 
I still have so many questions about what happened and what they saw and about the institute. 

The audiobook narration is done beautifully.

If you love atmospheric eco-horror in the vein of Jeff Vandermeer, you will enjoy this. Leaves you with as many questions as answers.
