I have a hard time with this one. I finished it in mere days because it felt so fast paced to me. However, I also found myself utterly disgusted by the trope of “evil child”. I understand the hurt the child is feeling, and perhaps evil tricks but murder? No. Feels like a cheap cop-out. If the child is gonna be “evil” then I’m going to need more than this.
