I rarely DNF books, but this one not only wasn't resonating with me, it also made me feel terrible most of the times I read it. I saw it recommended in conversations around the Area X books and Book of the New Sun, both of which are favorites, but this wasn't really doing much of what I personally enjoyed about those. Plenty of people (including Area X's author!) seemed to love it, so YMMV.

This book felt incredibly shallow. It’s filled with lofty, complex plots and ideas but never truly intersects with them except to say ‘look at me dealing with these complex plots and ideas.’ All the graphic sex and sexual abuse depictions are gratuitous and expose the fact that all the women in the book are simply vessels. This is to the extent that one of the creatures was created specifically for the sexual gratification of her charge. The only reason it didn’t get an even lower rating is because it does still have some interesting elements.
