It was a thrilling read but I felt like I missed something. Might have to reread to get a better grasp on what actually happened at the end. But I loved the setting and the general idea.

This felt unfinished. Like someone had written it in a day and published it that same night. It is an interesting read on the ethics of experiments, but it’s nothing special. I expected a lot more from this.

Increasingly atmospheric to a piercing finale. I just wish it were longer.
