I really felt like most of the characters, the main three especially, were incredibly fleshed out (I fell in love with Minerva). This added with the setting and atmosphere of a western combined with a woodsy cult and a monster from Eldrich hell made this book worth the read.
My main gripe with the style was the over saturation of metaphors and similes. I felt that the sheer amount of them took away from the imagery rather than adding to it.

This book was written in 2017…..I get that it is set in the 60’s-80’s but do we really need to use slurs in this day and age??? I was also not a fan of the explicit content with the children. That was unnecessary.
