Horror isn’t usually my thing, but gotta support my queer sci-fi-adjacent authors! In its best moments it reminded me of Ancillary Justice. I liked the futuristic French language elements, but couldn’t quite seem to get my head around a world with a hive-mind doctor complex and mechanical hearts but otherwise only very outdated technology. I found the end a bit drawn out too long and anticlimactic.
Graphic: Medical content and Medical trauma
Moderate: Suicide, Rape, Miscarriage, Gun violence, and Body horror
