Borne by Jeff VanderMeer
4.0
I was a good few pages in and was confused and not enthralled, seriously considering not reading on. But I persevered and with the introduction of Borne, I was wholly and utterly hooked.
Rachel and Wick live in Balcony Cliffs, a hollowed out web of passageways guarded by traps and sensors to protect them from the creatures outside. Putting herself at risk to go out and scavenge for biotech that could be useful, Rachel spots a glimpse of something unusual clinging to a giant beast. Heedless of her life, she climbs to retrieve it, not understanding how it would change all their lives forever. I loved Borne, became emotionally attached, and struggled with Rachel in the letting go. Fabulous read!
