A good folky horror read for girls who wish “Midsommar” was a book.
I’m going for 3 stars on this one! It was a quick read and I really enjoyed the ending especially.
There were some loose ends that weren’t really ever tied up, but that didn’t take away from the overall story. The themes of community and ‘home’ were really unexpectedly beautiful amidst the horror of it all.
Pros:
- scary folky vibes
- unexpected ending
- a fun read for fall/spooky season
- minimal actual “horror” elements. More suspense than gore or supernatural stuff
Cons:
- pacing was a little slow, especially at the start
- i wish we got to hear a little bit more about the Celtic spirits / the religious aspects that inspire the island’s decisions
- some loose ends were definitely left unresolved
