Ouf, ce livre est une très longue agonie, pas parce que c'est plate, mais parce qu'on attend la mort avec les personnages. C'est très lourd et il y a plusieurs images très graphiques et troublantes - mais le tw est aussi fait en quatrième de couverture.

Les descriptions des lieux sont excellentes. On a aussi un bel accès à la psychologie des personnages.

Il n'y a pas de chapitres, ce qui m'énerve souvent, mais on finit par prendre le rythme quand même. Ça correspond bien avec l'histoire qui est très linéaire (matin au soir sans trop sauter de journée).

Je recommande si on est prêt à lire une histoire très triste et dark!
