I loved this book. I loved the nasty greasy old decaying setting of Elendhaven and how as a marine biologist I could really picture the dead whales and sharks in this frigid northern sea. I LOVE horrible nasty evil gay characters!! I love revenge!! I love monstrous simps that live to serve and I love toxic relationships! I love that Johann got to live on as a combination of both of them and both of their dark bidding. This was a really quick and enjoyable listen, just enough horror and a little bit of gore for me to like without being turned off.
