The horror element in this book mostly worked for me. I felt unsettled with the mystery of it all. But as things unfolded I was disappointed - I didn't feel close or connected to the characters (maybe that was intentional? they had to be hardened to survive in Montana?). unfortunately I also didn't feel the connections to many of the characters with each other. I also had no sense of how much time had passed, and how Adelaide continued to have food to eat since there isn't much mention of her work on the homestead. Rating is more of a 2.5, somewhere between "it was ok" and "I liked it".

there’s so much i loved about this! the character relationships were so warm and palpable, i really appreciated seeing the interactions and conversations, especially the tender little moments they’d share! i’m not left with many questions and honestly i can say i’m happy with the story in a way i didn’t expect! so much of this reminds me of other stories like pedro paramo and nope. i also just love this writer’s voice in general :)

with carlotta and francisco it was sad to not see them more because i was interested in their connection to everything or more about what they know. i guess for plot purposes they served to be the first to not see elizabeth as a monster, but i wish they could have had a bit more! idk how but somehow!
