this did not have the dreaded Short Book Syndrome; I knew just enough about the chars to make them feel real, but not enough to bog down the plot. pacing was quite good! ending was abrupt, but not necessarily in a bad way. it felt like the ending of Eli: lots of potential, but also a fair ending to the plot
I really like when authors take whiteness and privilege and incarnate it into tangible forms of creatures, magic, murder. something so silent yet pervasive bubbling up into visible monstrosity … scrumptious!
I didn’t come into this book expecting much, and as such I am pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed it!

The characters are intriguing but most are erased and their backstory is not very well elaborated.
This book is short in pages but a little long in pace: I would have liked more tension and suspense rather than long descriptions which, most of the time, don't add much.
