I found the ending of the book a little confusing, but still captivating. I think I agree with some other readers that it may have benefitted from a few more pages, although it seemed to be left intentionally vague. That said, I think I may have been a little disappointed if everything was tied up neatly

I haven't read Nightbitch, but I thought the premise would be similar in its body horror aspects. I was wrrong.

It lacks the magic I expected though.
It read more like a woman slowly going insane from her partner's adulatory, as she punishes them in increasingly sadistic ways.

Overall, I loved this story and Lucy’s telling of it, loved her character and the spiral of her actions, loved the writing and the mythology and everything else happening here. I sat in stunned silence for a while after finishing this book; it leaves that kind of an impact. Rich and dark and eerily satisfying, The Harpy is definitely a story that’ll stick with its audience. I loved it.
