What did I just read? This story had so much going on with a really amazing concept and idea and while I thought the writing to be a little not-so-well paced, i.e. a six year time jump that isn't mentioned until several chapters later, and I found the ending to be a bit lackluster imo, the world in this novel is just astounding. With that in mind, it would be criminal to give this book less than four stars and something I'd recommend to anyone who likes really weird and interesting worlds.

Interesting character driven story about a trans fmc existential journey after an alien invasion. Found the ending rushed and not great but I liked the rest of it. Relatable and intriguing. The world building was fascinating and well developed too. Really liked that the alien invasion wasn't what popculture usually displays as violent but was so with the slow, creeping influence of the seep until humans weren't willing to live without them. Was bone chilling in ways :)
