Siamese is my favorite breed of cat, and I'm hoping to be a librarian someday, so this book sounded like it would be pretty fantastic.
However, the level of writing and the amount of typos made me feel like I was reading a mediocre OC fanfiction. The main character's interactions with others are unrealistic; it's like every other character only exists so that the main character can tell them all about herself. To some degree, I can understand that the new person will do a lot of talking when surrounded by curious people that only see new faces every 6 months or so, but I'm a third to a half of a ways through the book and I know nothing about any other character except the most basic descriptor of their job (nurse, scientist, military, guard).
The part where I finally decided to stop and get rid of the book, was the end of Chapter 15. Up until about midway through Chapter 14, the story had felt like a 1st person, with the main character's thoughts showing up in italics, but then suddenly the author didn't want anyone to know what the main character was thinking, because , and suddenly the story felt like the 3rd person perspective that the book is actually written in. It was very jarring.
Interesting concept. Poor execution.
