What a fantastically horrifying read! In such a short time, you're introduced to vividly complex characters and a freaky bio-engineered dystopia where bodies are grown and harvested for parts. While it's mostly a character-focused story, the world has the perfect amount of detail to understand it without bogging down the pace. It moves quickly, not wasting any words as you're taken from mind to mind as they slowly melt together and create one beautiful symphony.
This book will absolutely not be for everyone (as body horror rarely is); it's incredibly graphic, potentially triggering, and just undeniably weird. But it sure was for me.
