She comes to terms with what she is pretty quickly, but on the other hand, it doesn’t sit well with her. After the revelations at the end of Parasite she has a hard time identifying herself, and in a way this also changes her actions and interactions. It’s us and the characters, and we are drawn into their world together with them. There is no condescending author voice telling the poor little reader how his awesome inventions work. What makes her stand out from the crowd is that her books are well-research and thoroughly built on a steady scientific foundation, while staying readable and accessible for the public. Mira Grant/Seanan McGuire is a fabulous author, and the fact that I love her Parasitology series just as much as I enjoyed her Newsflesh ones, cements her into the position of one of my favourite authors. This reviews probably contains spoilers if you haven’t read Parasite yet, although I beat around the bush quite a bit. After the revelations in Parasite, things get increasingly worse in this world where parasitic implants protect people from diseases. Symbiont is the long-awaited sequel to Parasite, and the second book of the Parasitology trilogy.
