beautiful and super engaging! i read it in a sitting and had to make myself slow down a bit because i was flipping through the action pages too fast. although it was a fun read, the sibling characters felt like tropes with few glimpses into something deeper. also, i found the justification for the horror sections to be lackluster and more like an excuse than an explanation.
