stephen king killin' it with the character work again! thoroughly enjoyed this read, even though it was such a slow burn. a lot of time was spent setting up the characters and carefully building the story to its horrifying conclusion. this is an example of slow burn done right; i was so invested in the characters + relationships that i didn't even mind the slower pacing. would definitely recommend to readers who enjoy a character-focused story with strong themes of faith, grief, and mortality.
