i enojoyed this! it was scary, tense, emotional, i cried a little. the ending felt a bit rushed to me and i also didn't like the conclusion that much, but overall it was really solid. red was a compelling main character, and all the characters and relationships felt fleshed out.
ALSO i hated oliver so so much and was happy when he died at the end, it felt cathartic
