Iraxi is one of several refugees on a ship that left a flooded land in hopes of finding somewhere safer. Unfortunately, that hasn't happened and resources are dwindling. Already an outcast among her fellows, Iraxi's pregnancy is just one more thing that separates her — she gets special treatment and more food because of the baby, you see. However, Iraxi doesn't want the baby and fears that it may not be human.
This is a short book and a quick read, but it's also horrifying and visceral. I felt like there was a lot of potential here that didn't quite get fully fleshed out in the barely 100 pages — this would have benefitted from more pages and more details, regarding both the plot of the book and Iraxi's backstory.
