I didn't know much about the book going into it and when some of the themes of this book emerged, I felt very put-off. But that's on me for not checking TW's.
>SPOILER< Something that completely broke the tone of the novel for me, and felt borderline ridiculous, was the scene of Lori and Abby finally getting into the River Man's hut. The flaming footsteps, the pool of blood, the heavy metal guitar-playing old demon dude. It felt silly and didn't have an impact on me other than confusion.

Overall i think it was a good read to get our of a reading slump but the werinig, althought beatiful at parted, needed to be better at some points, specially develpment-wise. I loved the idea of intercalating present, past and the letters but theres something in how this is written that makes me go ehhhh.
