3.25
This is definitely a slow burn but I surprisingly sped through it. I picked it up because I loved Hurley's Starve Acre and I can definitely see the seeds for that book sown in this one- interest to see his development as an author. The atmosphere building was exceptional and it the religious element felt increasingly ominous. I read the maority of this during a huge spring storm and it was the perfect time to read this book.
Only eating a 3.25 as I didn't particularly care for the ending and some questions were left unanswered for me but overall I enjoyed it!
