The Rotten Beast by Mary E. Pearson
5.0
I read The Adoration of Jena Fox a few years back.
I don't recall much about the characters or the plot, which means i'll reread this novella when I will get the other two books in the trilogy and read them.
[a:Mary E. Pearson|123463|Mary E. Pearson|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1528497378p2/123463.jpg] is my comfort author. I'll read anything she writes even if it's a grocery list. I love the raw emotion that is always radiating from her words and i am in a journey to buy and read all her works.
I finished [b:Dance of Thieves|35796008|Dance of Thieves (Dance of Thieves, #1)|Mary E. Pearson|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1505930101l/35796008._SY75_.jpg|55233885] not long ago, which lead to me falling back into The Remnant Chronicles world and i decided to reread [b:The Beauty of Darkness|25944798|The Beauty of Darkness (The Remnant Chronicles, #3)|Mary E. Pearson|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1445626686l/25944798._SY75_.jpg|45680041] as one of the last books in 2021.
All that sent my back to the days i read [b:The Adoration of Jenna Fox|1902241|The Adoration of Jenna Fox (Jenna Fox Chronicles, #1)|Mary E. Pearson|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1388715600l/1902241._SY75_.jpg|1903936] and through her website i had found this novella.
Back in 2009 Mary did an interview https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/authors/interviews/article/5374-q-a-with-mary-e-pearson.html discussing the Jena world and sharing personal details about her life, how two of her daugethers were diagnosed with cancer, one when she was writting this book.
All the hate Allys feels towards doctors and the BioGel that to fix her ill body is lit in a different light after i read this inteview. In order to heal her, they had to transform her, all that made her human, into something else.
I have deep admiration to this women, her strenght and her wisdom. Can't wait to dive into this world again
