Holy shit this is everything I want in speculative fiction. Terribly fucked up and gorgeously written. Tackling abuse and parasocial dependency in such a way I can only describe it as “emotionally gut-wrenching in a detached way” - it’s like reading a necropsy report without a clinical eye. Brilliant.

One of those rare “I thought the cover looked cool and now it’s a top contender of the year” books for me.
