Dit boek was echt mysterieus en spannend. Heb dit toen gelezen voor Nederlands en oprecht ervan genoten want was gewoon een thriller joh. Het had heftige stukken, want kan me nog wat herinneren over een hondje erg op een tak geprikt, vet sad. Maar ook dat ze die gekke heks zo gingen opsluiten en dichtnaaien en dat ze daarna wraak kwamen nemen, jeetje hoor

Hard nope.

When I finally get around to writing reviews post grad school I will undoubtedly forget why, by the end of this novel, I had a permanent grimace on my face. SO here are my notes to myself (watch out spoilers)

Spoiler

nipple and boxcutter, kinda fat phobic, are women allowed to speak?, nipple pinch from the old asshole on Griselda, nipple mountain, seriously what the fuck is with the nipples, this is getting so fucking gross and weird, dead dog, probably more nipples, oh DEFINITELY more nipples, woman getting fucked by a pig, seriously we have one speaking female and she is there to be the town idiot and her main trait is 'dumb and fat', uuuuugh, that weird quote about he'd give his rectum if he had too, I hated everyone by the end, LITERALLY EVERYONE, Grim only existed to sexually objectify women but also sort of day dream about abusing them, and man, I dont think this ever picked a moral it wanted to tell

I liked the witch. So it had that going for it. The use of technology was interesting. There were good ideas but they just didn't outweigh the creepy and gross treatment of women - particularly Kathryn and Griselda.
