I wish more had been done with the Pequot indigenous characters - their culture and the characters could have been more represented in my opinion which could lead to them feeling less like stereotypes.

Brom's writing style is beautiful, and I felt just about every emotion over the course of this dark tale. And given the multitudes of dualities - man vs nature, woman vs man, pagan vs christian, etc - I wouldn't be surprised if I got more out of a second reading. This might just have to be something I re-read in the future.
Overall, the story reminds me of that meme that's something along the lines of: my favourite horror movie genre is "good for her". I cheered Abitha's every success and felt my heart ache for her with every failure. Good for her!

Consider checking the cws/tws. The art in the book is super spooky and cool. I think it added a lot to the experience!
