i cannot write a full review for this novel without spoiling it. that’s how much the last quarter of this book made me mad. mad and confusing at every single decision made for the characters and the plot?? you had a mildly compelling mystery going and THAT is what you’re ending with? I— 👎🏻 There is a confusing lack of barely any foreshadowing to this ending.

I think if I thought more about the implications of the entity and the story’s ending itself, I might have some more complicated feelings about the story and its discussion of mental illness, but I think the author did his best to approach mental illness and psychiatric wards with an empathetic eye and in the end,
Fun for what it was! Definitely unsettling, definitely creepy, certainly earns its title of horror. I went into this expecting absolutely nothing and was pleasantly surprised.

The twist was kinda uncomfortable since we are following the story of a new doctor and his patient at an asylum in the early 2000s.
