noirverse's review against another edition

5.0

A haunting and compelling horror story with Jonathan's personal journey as the centerpiece. Jonathan being a trans man and having that impact the story in countless ways was what made the novel for me.

3.5 stars. Absolutely flew through the first 200 or so pages, but then it kind of stuttered after that...even past the point where it starts to get spooky. Maybe it's just me but it was hard to follow what was actually happening in places.

But it is very atmospheric & definitely heavily reminiscent of The Terror. I don't agree with the comparisons to The Thing - yes there are passing similarities but the vibe is completely different.

I really really really wanted to like this. I love queer horror and this seemed like exactly what I’ve been trying to read. But oh my gosh I was so incredibly bored. I kept thinking “okay once I hit 20% the pace will pick up”. It did not. The plot is probably about to actually start but I just can’t make myself keep going.
