Guys I fucking loved this book omd it’s so fun I loved the description holy fuck and little iris and experiencing this through her. Loved the use if haunting ness throughout. Honestly main point for me was the beautiful rich well developed my favourite part of this I LOVED it. The ending was the worst part. Justice for Iris like the ending was just flat and honestly kinda dulled the spirit of the book. Could read the first three quarters over and over though.
UPDATE: It’s now 4(?) months later, and upon reflection, the book isn’t that great. I still loved it, but I did find some of the last third of the book just not great. Not just my enjoyment, but like structural issues. Felt like plot and themes were disconnected. Still think it’s good. Will reread to double check this.
