5.0

I really enjoyed this read. While it was definitely a slow burn I felt the journey itself was incredibly worthwhile and that I really got to know the hostile and unforgiving setting and the variety of characters. 

I thought this story did a good job of balancing the real and the supernatural evils which existed and that it did a great job of not having any one character be altogether good or evil.
