It genuinely started getting scary. I was not in the headspace to read about children being helpless and scared while they are threatened or abused by adults.

Loved the concepts explored, but the story itself and the characters fell flat. There were some beautiful lines, and the horror scene near the beginning really made me gag, but most the book left me feeling meh.
