The end was interesting. I felt like it could’ve been more interesting if they made a series of stories connecting with the creatures/the meaning of being a parent and child relationship, but my God was it boring.

Generational trauma along with inheritance patterns is astronomically beautiful in this book in my opinion

It’s a sad, sad world and a sad sad story, but it fills me with so much happiness because I don’t want that cheesy ending it doesn’t work out and you will always have issues even if you don’t think you do and the more you know, it could be much more harmful than helpful.
