Reply to comment by stinkysoph in Our Wives Under the Sea is the BEST book I've read in a long time and I just wanna talk about it by Starlit-Sage
exactly! Just the thought of being on the bottom of the ocean is terrifying. I kind of think of space the same way (which is interesting because Miri gets on that forum for people roleplaying about their husbands in space). It's just this sense of... humans aren't really "supposed" to be here, and it's only due to relying heavily on technology that can easily malfunction that they're here.
That kind of relates to the ending as well. I feel like >!the "creature" Leah saw at the bottom of the ocean was one that humans were never "supposed" to encounter. Not evil, but terrifying, kind of like looking at a god. When Leah is transformed, it's like she can no longer live on earth among humans anymore because she experienced this "thing."!<
