This is probably one of my favorite books I’ve read in 2023. Despite it being so long, when I finished, I wanted even more. The writing/ translation is great. The characters are complicated and interesting. Not for the faint of heart, but so worth it. A beautiful and terrifying mix or horror, fantasy, and history. I recommend this to everyone who enjoys horror or occult type books. It’s truly a masterpiece
