i devoured this book. i loved the creeping dread, the slow persistent build up. the story was predictable but i think that only added to the sense of inevitability. this scratched such a specific oceanic-terror itch, and i enjoyed every minute of it.

I really adored this book. I love the extended metaphor for grief and the story telling done by Armfiled. I did find the ending unsatisfying, I wish we even got a little bit of an answer ad to what happened. I can handle somewhat vague endings but this one certainly left a lot to be desired. Other than that 10/10 perfect.

Sad. Really sad. I optimistically kept expecting it to get less sad. It didn't. If i were alone right now I'd be sobbing.
