This was a solid book that was outside my usual genre. It's definitely got the elements of a true horror nightmare, and yet the queer elements, self reflection, and romance lightened it just enough. I liked how it progressed and never felt that the plot dragged, but I did feel that the ending was a little too much gripping the seat, waiting for the final battle and not enough with the battle and aftermath. And that's where things fell apart for me a bit. Still an absolutely stellar and strong novel, but I just felt a little rushed at the end and left feeling a little too much like there is something missing at the end.
