- wanted to enjoy it more than I actually did
- characters were often pretty unlikeable… not necessarily a bad thing, but I didn’t get much opportunity to empathize with them besides their background
- interesting concept
- loved the idea for the lore, but some of it was inconsistent and straight up odd (that basketball scene???)

The thing with this book is that it is slow and the way it’s written at the beginning takes a lot of getting used to.
The first part was slow and agonizing and then you get to a great story and then it gets slow again. The second half of the book was definitely better and if you can get passed the first half then it is a good story with a very long dragged out ending that honestly just made me wish I had DNF the book.

I disagree.
It is a spooky story, sure. It’s shocking and gory, and it’s definitely unsettling, but what keeps you up at night isn’t the big bad.
It’s the haunting mechanism of sheer grief and injustice turning the world on its head.
Stomach churning in ways beyond the gore and blood, rather it’s the reflection and justifications that get you.
Phenomenally written, engrossing and haunting.
