At about the 75% mark I put this down and went seeking reviews to see if I wanted to finish it - I knew by then it would not be a good ending, but I wanted at least a satisfying ending. The general consensus was that it would be satisfying, so I powered through.
I am glad I did, I do feel like it was worth getting to the end, but if I had known some of the more gore and graphic scenes that were in this, I would have skipped it. That being said, I did feel like it ended in the best place it could have, and didn't leave me dreading anything.
I read this on an e-reader and based on some of the other reviews I wish I had the physical book to see better the illustrations included for each chapter start (and at the end).

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

I'd also love to mention the character art in the book! Stunning and creepy. Love, love, love it.
I'm gonna need more books to provide their own art.
File under: "Good for her (them)" + "I support women's rights AND women's wrongs".
Imagine a mix of Robert Egger's The Witch and a less sapphic Fear Street 1666.
Moral of the story; the Puritans were really fucking scary and nothing is more haunting than the rightousness of a group of people who envoke God to deliver punishment.

It’s a Puritan story, lots of religious talk.
