The Strange Bird: A Borne Story by Jeff VanderMeer

dark emotional mysterious sad slow-paced

• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

Set in the world of Borne, this is a typically lyrical, sometimes oblique and always melancholy tale of a genetically-engineered bird-woman who escapes from the laboratory where she was created into the even more dangerous post-apocalyptic world outside. It seems that you either like VanderMeer or you don't. I do.
