Not quite sure how to feel about the fact that this won an award because I thought it was just ok. It was very slow moving and I didn't really fall in love with any of the characters. There were a few interesting bait and switch moments that I didn't see coming or wasn't sure the story was leaning towards for sure, but overall I feel like this was grim for the sake of being grim. However, I do think this author does a great job with the atmospheric aspect of the story and with that I am more inclined to check out her other works.
