The combination of characters and insane morals people will drop to all for the “good of the town” were really interesting, and I found the actual setting intriguing, I loved learning more about its rich and fucked up history.
But this felt like a slog. I really wanted to enjoy it more than I did, and I can’t really put my finger on why I didn’t.
There was a whole host of characters that I both wanted more information on, while also not really caring what happened to them.
And I really wish that the witch had more to do, especially in the end. I understand the whole metaphorical aspect of it, but I wanted her to get shit done.
All in all, I’m content with the fact I’ve read it, but I sadly can’t see myself revisiting this. Evidently this just wasn’t for me.
