Future Home of the Living God

This is harrowing. It makes Handmaid's Tale seem cheerful. Plus, it abruptly ends without providing any closure, let alone redemption. I'm still working out how I feel about it... aside from my own complicated feelings about pregnancy and motherhood.

It was well-written. There were things about it I liked. It's... profoundly unsettling, but it means to be.

The science is a little “wait, what?” and there is some weird magical stuff that happens early in the book that never goes anywhere, which I found disappointing. A few scenes are so horrifying or tense that I felt my heartrate spiking. But, I was reading it on a plane, so it served the purpose of distracting me quite well!
