bookishbat 's review for:

Borne by Jeff VanderMeer
3.5
adventurous mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated

i wish i had more to say about this book….other than it just is

i felt no connection to rachel, or the established world - i only really liked borne, who is a titular character that i didn’t feel took on that big role. 

i really wish there was more to this, and i think the biggest failure was i found the main character one dimensional. reading her perspective felt like trudging through mud, and it made connections to everything else lackluster.
