This was intense and sad. The ending was a little ambiguous, but I liked it. It works for the story and the message it ends on. I feel like the whole point was to show how ridiculous a god is that wouldn’t accept a child’s death as sacrifice enough. I’m glad that Andrew and Eric thought it would be worth sacrificing the rest of the world.

The concept of this book is so cool, and I read it in anticipation of the upcoming film adaptation. It dragged on in some parts but overall I enjoyed the story and the characters.

mangofandango's review against another edition

4.0

WOW this book was a lot. It was extremely compelling while also being kind of exhaustingly difficult to read - not in the sense that's pretentiously written or overwrought, but because you suffer along with the protagonists and it's painful, agonizing, and destabilizing throughout. I thought it was great psychological horror and as much as it leaves you shattered, the uncertainty is interesting and really makes it stick. I do think it could have been a little tighter, and at the same time, while I respect the choice to leave some things ambiguous there things are I would love to know more about.

Content note: this is absolutely not for you if you have tender feelings about harm coming to children. Like, I definitely couldn't have read this as a new mom. Be cautious. It's also pretty gory and violent overall, and it's...I used the word "shattered", right? It's a lot, so only read if you have the spoons for that. (

Honestly I was kind of bored. This is gonna be full of Slight spoilers so just beware. I wish that they were kind of trying to get into the cabin I feel like they got in super fast. Also it was kind of just redundant. I do have to say if you don’t like open endings or not knowing what happened this is not the book for you. Usually I don’t really mind that well I guess it depends on the book but this I just felt like what was the point what was the point.
