What a rollercoaster. There were times I was screaming quietly into the night at scenes that had me going "How will the characters get out of this??" I'm impressed by all the detail that went into locations and what different characters would know based on their culture, age, and life experiences. Seriously, as a 19 year old, I'm impressed with how well a 13-year-old girl was written and how I was cheering her on. There were a few moments I went "I wish I was as cool as her when I was her age." There were parts of the book I had to repeatedly look up while saying to myself, "This seems familiar," before realizing I was a fool. Lovecraft fans should expect to see some small references here and there.
