Honestly I'm still so confused.
This sets a very vivid scene, I felt like I was in Area X, experiencing this with the Biologist, finding out information with her. I enjoyed the trickles of information you had to piece together.
It felt like a fever dream or nightmare at times. It is such an odd story and an different way to tell a story.
I don't feel like this feels finished. I know there are other books, but this book doesn't feel finished. I have so many questions still that when I finished I was like 'oh?'.
