A really interesting premise and overall an enjoyable read, but it kind of left me wishing for more disturbing elements. I feel like so much more could have been experimented with within the concept of childbearing/motherhood based horror, it could have been a lot more crude. Not that it needed to, of course, it definitely still worked perfectly fine... I just wish it had been, for my personal preference for insane, messed up stuff :D
