"Asha wanted him to help these people, and it mattered to him what she would think about him going back on his word."

YOU MET THIS WOMAN ALL OF 5 MINUTES AGO. SO I GUESS YOUR RAPEY BUG DNA MAKES YOU FALL IN INSTA LOVE TOO.

“This bugman has become attached to you, and that’s putting it politely. You’ve mixed up his thinking, and that’s going to work to our advantage. You can’t afford to be squeamish about using that. Not if you want to go home."

“We lost twenty-six,” he replied.

Asha moaned softly. A staggering number for the nearly extinct. The fact she hadn’t known they existed until today didn’t make it any easier to hear."

Oh fuck off, Asha.

"Run! Not pausing to question why her brain had registered this command in Paxton’s voice rather than her own, she shot away from her foundering attacker, closing the distance between her and the bog."

Pax is fighting off giant wasps but all he can think of is Asha. Dawwww~. He can't stop thinking about the target of his RAPE DNA. THIS BOOK IS SO ROMANTIC~~~~!

"The Manti had practically wiped out humanity. Yet the Manti themselves were a result of humanity’s quest for more effective methods of wiping out each other."

Asha, your sudden onset Stockholm Syndrome is baffling. I mean I get wanting to survive but after 5 minutes with the Manti you're all OH HUMANITY MADE THEM THIS WAAAAAY and justifying all manner of their fuckery. Fuck this fucking book.

"But as she ran, panting hard as sweat trickled down her neck, she knew it was time to reassess. Threats surrounded her. She’d woken up to a world that required alliances for survival. Paxton, enemy or no, seemed determined to keep her whole and alive. And he was the only one who could take her home."

"While ostensibly working on a U.S. Defense Department contract to incorporate predator insect traits into human physiology, Dr. Gregoire had been more interested in playing god. Using ancient stories—and the more modern illustrations inspired by them—Gregoire had brought mythological races to life."

R U FUCKING SRS?

"She went back to staring into the fire, and a few minutes later he joined her on the pew, leaving a gentlemanly gap of about an arm’s length between them. Still, she fidgeted in her seat."

Are you fucking serious? Whether it be Pax or Beck, whenever things get unsettling or creepy, Asha just "shifts" or "fidgets". I WOULD BE RUNNING AT THE SPEED OF FUCKING LIGHT.

"Beck and the priest conferred in low voices, while Finn aimed an awkward smile at Asha. Cleary uncomfortable, she glanced away, and the man took the opportunity to rake her body with his eyes. Pax’s blood warmed from simmer to boil."

GROSS. HUMAN CREEPERS. The only good creepers are rapey insect men who have to fight against their RAPE BIOLOGY, duh.
