This is deeply horrifying, but I didn't expect it to be so wry and...romantic? It's horror first and foremost, but there's some tenderness within Nick and Sam's relationship that I didn't expect.
As much as Sam frustrated me, I quite enjoyed him and his relatable defense mechanism (i.e., using humor as deflection). I wish we had spent more time with his sister, Julia, especially after that traumatizing start to the book, but it was still an epic, supernatural, car-crash of a journey as Nick, Sam, and another character or two try to piece together exactly what the hell happened to Nick's face after his perilous journey up the Maudit. (If you know any French, this should tell you exactly what kind of mountain the Maudit is.)
Do you like alpinism, Stephen King, Dutch novels, or all of the above? Pick this up.
