gorecki's review against another edition
3.0
Quite a spooky book, but I was hoping for something more complete in the sense of having stronger build up and culmination. While the suspense was strong and I did feel quite shaky a few times, it felt a bit flat - as if Paver was holding back from making it a really scary book. No actual horror or terror, not much interaction or threat as such, not much of a full circle around what happened kn Gruhuken and what happened after. A really enjoyable October read nevertheless.
