a mix of horror and dark fantasy. It was unique, fascinating and unlike anything I’ve ever read. I was fully invested while I was reading, however whenever I put it down, I didn’t think about it.  It was violent, disturbing and heartbreaking all rolled together.  I also loved that for such a short book it really brought you into the new world  full of ancient creatures. The world building was phenomenal.
