This book has an intriguing setup and interesting elements, but it quickly devolves into a mess of body horror, confusing dream sequences, and very little plot. It's one gory, horrifying scene after another, which completely burns out the suspense and tension by the middle of the book. I got so frustrated by the actual plot being constantly interrupted by never-ending flashbacks. The ending was boring, unsatisfying, and disorienting.
