The best way I could describe this book is a dark sapphic horror/fantasy tale told with bits of breadcrumbs that explores toxic relationships, a seemingly endless journey at the sea and discussions of purgatory. It’s also written in such poetic language that took a minute for me to get used to, and I often had to reread some bits just to make sure I didn’t miss anything. But I loved how unlikeable one of the main characters was, and how sinister this story played out.
