Borne by Jeff VanderMeer
4.0

Equally heart-warming and disturbing, this book made me realize Vandermeer is probably my favorite living author. I’ve never come across another author who captures love and other facets of being human so perfectly in such unrelatable and bizarre settings. This one is similar to The Southern Reach trilogy in its themes and characters, but much faster-paced. I preferred Veniss Underground to Borne, but I will absolutely read the rest of the Borne novels after enjoying this one so much.
