I did not read this in a good frame of mind, and so I think that may have coloured my opinion somewhat. The idea of the "animalled" was an interesting one, as was some of the implications that seemed to flow from it.
The main character was also an interesting person, nicely complex and obviously recovering from multiple traumas, which seemed to be related to her animalled status.
There however it all fell apart, the plot started well enough, and the info dumps in between charters were interesting, but the plot slowly got away from the author's control, and the final few chapters seem almost incoherent. The conclusion was unsatisfying and also left open what the point of much of the story had been about.
So an interesting idea, but needs work.
