Rough for me to even get through, I pushed myself chapter through chapter but didnt really get anything out of the book. Disappointed.

Ok so racism and anti-choice rhetoric aside, this might be the most thorough fiction I’ve read so far. Which makes sense, it’s dense as fuck. It like hurt my hands just to hold the thing up to read it over the last- oh god, has it been a month? I still don’t buy that Rowan was just a genius who wanted to explore science. It is obvious she wanted to explore....other things.

Not one of Anne Rice's better novels....so happy to finally be done with it.
