It’s only a short story so it’s not packed full of action. It’s a little repetitive and moves on fairly quickly so you only meet side characters for a short time.
It has its dark moments, as you’d expect from a book about hell, but also a few moments that made me laugh or at least contemplate.
Overall, there’s no real resolution, which can be frustrating, but also is in tune with the rest of the story. Not a bad read, not the best, but it’s only a quick one anyway and can make you think.
