My few problems with this novel where the repetition near the home stretch, lack of communication between characters (tbh neither of our main characters where likable at all in my opinion and Felix really came off as a pseudo intellectual), as well as a pretty low impact ending considering the huge build up. Generally this book could of really benefited from an editor because it was just way too long to be saying the same things over and over.
I will say, however, there was some very scary and unnerving moments that made the read worth it for me. I think that the common remark I’m seeing is “this is a really good creepy pasta but just an okay novel” and again, I think an editor could’ve really taken this to another level.
Fun read, and worth the time spent even though I did finish slightly underwhelmed.

I think it got a little repetitive after a while and thought the 2nd half wasn't as strong as the 1st but overall I really enjoyed it.
