Scifijännäri kuulosti hyvältä ja alku olikin lupaava, mutta kuten tämän genren teokset tuppaa tekemään, tämäkin lässähti lopussa. Pikkasen myös ihmetyttää kategorisointi 9-15 vuotiaille, koska tässä oli kuvottavaa gorea ja tematiikkaa, joka ei todellakaan sovi ala-asteikäisille 😱

Well written and well read, but a lot of gore and tear. Mainly it tells of girl’s friendships and focuses beautifully on loyalty and depth, but it also feels to tell in a symbolical way of how it f e e l s to grow up and mature as a girl, albeit in sci-fi and horror symbols.That period of life when it can feel the whole world suddenly shifts and isolates you from what you had, those defining years when you realise you are locked in as well as chased of patriarchal forces. Those days of life when you also see that so many sisters bend their loyalty to others than their likes to gain power or illusionary escape, all those moments of learning, betrayal and how to find trust in the most closest women around you.I wish I’d known though about all the morbid details and gory horror before starting the listen, I know I’d enjoyed it better if prepared for that.

A good read, though it feels like the ideas and emotions in it are only half-baked, the author too-afraid to dive deep into things. It’s fine to let your readers connect the dots but too many plot threads are left completely hanging while others are tied just a bit too neatly. And yeah, nothing of the summary or title makes you ready foe the level of body-horror or amounts of mass death. So, better warnings bwfoew books, please?
