I was so excited to read this book. But I felt honestly let down. I thought the writing style was so awkward. It may have been intentional? But I just couldn’t get past it sometimes. The actual gore and such was pretty lacking, the worst part was the weird incest actions and fantasy of if all. Idk. It was okay. I for sure free attached to some of the characters and was hoping for a less than fortunate fate for others. It was okay, I wouldn’t read it again, but I’ll probably recommend it to the people I think would be a good fit for it.
