While I felt the book did an amazing job building tension for me that just wasn’t enough to really love the book. If I’m honest I felt it dragged a bit at times and it was abundantly clear that King did not know how to write Black characters. Which he admitted to himself so don’t come for me. The racism and use of the “magical negro” troupe really overshadowed much of the later chapters for me personally.
Moderate: Racism, Domestic abuse, and Child abuse
