Our Wives Under the Sea

Felt like a poor man's Annihilation in scifi-ish/thriller tone, except with less developed and forgettable characters. Reports of body horror were grossly over exaggerated.

way too vague to get the author's points across. the idea was there but the execution was lacking for me.

Left too much work for the reader. Sometimes I feel mystery is relied on to seem clever when sometimes it works in lieu of actually being bold enough to commit to stand for something. Kind of felt like the first of the new Dune films where it's setting up the story and the protein - except this doesn't have any follow up. There's so much possibility in ocean sci fi. Reading In Ascension by Martin Macinnes, which covers similar ground but gives so much imaginative yet believable detail.
