dark mysterious fast-paced
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
I’m not sure how to rate this, but it got my attention for sure. This novella is short, but it packs a creepy punch. It’s hard to review without spoilers, but suffice it to say that this book is a… reinterpretation of a story you may have heard. Mild horror (no active violence, but references to it) and some big feelings by the end (at least for me). Was I creeped out? Yes. Angry? Yes. Did I love this book? Not really, but I appreciate what it was trying to do. Good for spooky season if you want some feels and a side of allegory.
