i honestly really loved this book! i listened on audio, and the plot was so involved— it felt like a lot of little side quests that all converged at the end.
love the idea of a little posse of people who don’t quite fit together. there was a lot going on, and the characters explored so much of the world. the worldbuilding felt very well-rounded and involved.
only detracting a bit from it because while i loved the world, i wish the characters themselves could have been explored a little bit more. this is very clearly a plot-driven book and while we do get hints of some background information, i personally would have loved to see more.
i think the pacing also slows down around the middle. i loved the beginning of the book in describing Joe and Rose’s life so much, and i wish that type of storytelling was used just a teensy bit more throughout (but that’s because i’m a character-driven person! if you prefer plot, this is def for you)
all in all i really did love the story. it intertwined western fiction and horror really well in my opinion. would def recommend for fans of this genre!
