The only reason the book didn’t get the full five stars is mostly because Lewis’s section sort of felt complete on its own, and continued the ambiguity of the realism of the demonic entity.

Each character's voice was unique. The story was nothing that I've ever read and it was dark as anything. I was not prepared for so much death. I'm going with a 4 only because the writing style was so hard. I found skipping to the second person for stuff in the second act (don't wanna spoil) to be really rough and kind of jarring.
I do really like how important Denorah, the fourteen-year-old daughter of one of the originally introduced characters became. I liked following the plot through characters so that it felt character driven but still moved by the plot.
I'll definitely be reading this author again.
