If you're into gothic horror, or just horror in general and after something truly unique to get sucked into, then I do highly recommend the book. There's a lot of cool body horror and truly creepy scenes to enjoy along the way, even if the ending isn't perfect.

I got really into the world and all the parallels used to discuss themes of autonomy, control and isolation. The language was a bit of a stumbling block for me but I adapted to it.

A cold and deliberate story. Poetic in its heartlessness.
I see why lots of people would not enjoy this, but it largely seems to be confusion of genre. This is not Sci-Fi, it's horror. It certainly isn't confusing, the MC is just confused.
But oh my god the abuse! Take the cws seriously.
