A step away from Eragon, but still good!

I adored Christopher Paolini's work as a kid. And while I am still waiting on a fifth Eragon book, I am so glad that this book exists. Firstly, it's an adult book! I may have read Eragon as a kid, but like many of his first fans, I guess I am an adult now so it's nice to get a sci-fi book without a teen MC. Secondly, it has a female MC. I was a little nervous at first, men writing women can be strange (and has a whole reddit sub dedicated to the weird things say about women's bodies), but the sampler I read seemed fine to me.

Plot-wise, so far it reminds me of Venom. Kira gets infected? absorbed? infested? attached-to? a symbiotic organism that protects her from harm.
