okjaaaaa 's review for:
Our Hideous Progeny
by C.E. McGill
for that this is, this book was oversold to me. which is fine, but also slightly disappointing.
it had such great themes and good discussions, especially around the notion of creation, grief and women's place in society - science, specifically. but it misplaces its focus. instead of developing interesting discussions, time gets wasted on developing conflict. it results in a meandering plot. the interesting parts are set adrift in a sea of boring descriptions of arguments or the characters' actions.
for what it is, it is a good book. however, i'm left wanting a narrative that explores a woman's journey with loss, womanhood, grief, and creation to a better degree.
