    Does an observer inexorably change what they are observing?

    Do we colonize the world, or does it colonize us?

    Does the existence of a multitude of living things in the world prove its banality, or is that the exact reason to be filled with wonder at it?

    This book is filled with ambiguity and is strangely clear. The protagonist is plainly logical and rational, yet she is fully mad.

    I still have so many questions even now that this book is over! The thrill was unending and I couldn’t put the book down! I don’t know what else to say except that if you enjoy thrillers/psychological horror, you need to experience this one for yourself!

    I’m curious about people’s opinions of Spie and her role in the story as they relates to straight romance. I feel like in a lot of straight romance, a lot of times the man/love interest is a player, cocky, and talks down to the FMC. Spie is very much filling that role here.

    The few queer romances that I’ve read didn’t feel like that. At this point in the story, this feels like it’s a patriarchal romance wrapped up in sapphic wrapping.

    I am straight, but I like my men gentle, sensitive, artsy, and most straight romances don’t have that, so I’m never very interested in the male lead. I would assume queer romance would have less of the “asshole romantic interest” problem, but this book is not proving that hypothesis correct 😂

    Anyway, I appreciate anyone’s thoughts on this!
