This was not for me. Horror isn't my typical genre--let's get that out of the way right off the bat. I've found that watching horror movies makes me so nervous, scared, and jumpy! But every horror novel I've ever read has just left me feeling confused and wondering, "Wait is this supposed to be a scary part?"
Also in this book in particular I felt frustrated about certain things. Like, in the last 25% of the book the main character mentions a skill that she has that will be profoundly useful in defeating the villain--but this was never mentioned before now. Or one character will be described as, say, full of unyielding energy and then a few lines later they're so exhausted they can barely move. These little things just kept me feeling frustrated as a reader and unable to get sucked in like I wanted to be.
