5.0
An incredibly dense read, but in a good way- it is concise and every sentence has a reason for being where it is. Very layered and very human. The Biologist is a well-crafted, realistic character. Definitely worth a reread.
Graphic: Body horror, Death, Suicide, Violence, and Grief
Moderate: Gore, Gun violence, Medical content, Gaslighting, and Injury/Injury detail
