I enjoyed this audiobook so much. I was super invested in each protagonist and every story arc. At its core, this is a horror story.
It's also historical, political, and queer fiction, and that together is the triforce that did me in. 
The end was worth all the hours spent wondering what the evil was and that it is both part of this world and not gives me the chills... but maybe you'll see it differently.

bravereads's review against another edition

I just...y'all. I work in child welfare, I don't want to read about horrific things happening to children or that children are experiencing. I didn't know I was going to get that in here, so I started this book with a different mindset than I needed to. Also, there's a pretty big emphasis on body horror, which I find incredibly triggering, and I just don't know that I can handle this anymore. I will say, this book was super interesting and I definitely encourage people to pick this up if it interests you!! Check trigger warnings though.
