domigaia's review

While the prose ease beautiful, and this was so well written, I just didn’t have the stomach for this, the  body horror and gore-riness. I tried to skim read some of those parts but I couldn’t hack it.

If you are into dark books then I highly recommend but READ THE TWS. I was sad it was too intense because  she wrote and explored trauma in such a creative way, the fear that was installed in the main character got installed in ME, and just the writing itself is SO lush. If I finished it had 5 star read potential.

I look forward to reading some of Ava Reid’s less intense books.

Having read all of Ava Reid’s books, this is definitely her darkest one. It explores very interesting themes in a fairy tale like setting, and so some parts of it definitely felt like a fairy tale. I loved the plot twist at the end, and also the overall quite realistic ending
