Although, at some points this is a very dark and twisted story I found it very dragging and kinda hard to keep up. There are too many characters, too many similar names, too many background stories...
Maybe I need to reread it and the next time I will enjoy it more. We'll see!

For a while it's a jumble of POVs but they do ultimately tie together in a horrid grotesque bow. Don't get attached to anyone, don't hope for the best - if you know anything about the history of the Donner-Reed Party, you know what you've gotten into !
