It reminded me of The VVitch, so if you're in the mood for pilgrim themed horror that is not really scary you may enjoy.

Spoiler
a Abitha aceita rápido o pacto final com o Samsom, não foi tão bem construído assimEsse foi o primeiro livro que li do autor, e gostei da forma como ele construiu a história. Tudo começa simples, mas à medida que a trama avança, os temas de fantasia/folk e horror/crueldade (tem descrições de tortura e morte de animal) vão se intensificando gradualmente. Mas a melhor parte é mesmo Abitha e Samsom, tanto isoladamente quanto a relação de companheirismo deles. Os dois estavam perdidos, ela, sem saber como conseguiria fazer o que era o certo, e ele, sem saber quem era e seu propósito. Os dois se encontram, e ao se ajudarem, não apenas conseguem respostas, como conseguem suporte e acolhimento, algo que não tinham.
Pra quem apoia os direitos e os erros das mulheres, quer terminar o livro pensando "que bom pra ela", recomendo demais essa leitura. Dizem que vale a pena ouvir o audiobook, e estou considerando.
