Not creepy at all (or maybe I'm just dumb) but definitely enjoyable.

quite an entertaining and interesting read. however, the book is divided into several different povs and every single one of the voices sounded exactly the same. sometimes i genuinely forgot from whose pov i was reading from and had to rely on certain character specific clues, like relatives' names, etc. the plot also just felt a bit aimless;
Spoileryou follow the fucked up lives of these kids in this village and it all somehow kinda relates to the holocaust in the end and how the villagers' took part in it and that's why they're cursed.
 
i don't really know what the point of the story was at all, but i had fun nonetheless.
