I wasn’t a fan of Nick.
That’s really my only gripe with the book though.

The descriptions are visceral and have fascinating imagery. The chapter lengths felt good and punchy, although I have to say I found the alt POV chapters a little redundant and actually spoiling the twists that would have come more naturally and had bigger impact if we had stayed in Benji's POV. The ending felt a little rushed too but otherwise fine, those are the only reasons it's not a 5.
Also I'm absolutely dying to make some beaded lizards now.
