i have mixed feelings....reallly dense writing (sometimes a paragraph was longer than a page. i can't do that.) and i didn't like this thing where she would alternate between using quotation marks and not using them and also have multiple people talking (with no quotation marks) within the same paragraph....but the Darkness and the stuff with the Order was cool. it took me a thousand years to get into but i really liked the end of part 1, part 3, and part 4. the end seemed so sudden...like it's the last 30-50 pages or so of a 600 page book where all the end stuff happens and

gaspar goes to the order and kills them all

. but i like how you can look back after reading it and really appreciate the way it unfurled, the way everything was connected.

This is probably one of my favorite books I’ve read in 2023. Despite it being so long, when I finished, I wanted even more. The writing/ translation is great. The characters are complicated and interesting. Not for the faint of heart, but so worth it. A beautiful and terrifying mix or horror, fantasy, and history. I recommend this to everyone who enjoys horror or occult type books. It’s truly a masterpiece
