I enjoyed the world and the unreliable narrator, but I think this book threw too many traumatic experiences at us to make it truly enjoyable. The description of the sexual assault that took place was too much for me, if I’m being honest. I understand including traumatic experiences to show a fantasy style horror as well as realistic horror, but the trigger warnings list is too long and isn’t resolved too well. I understand if that’s the point because it’s a horror book and meant to leave you with an ambiguous ending and a funny feeling, but it just doesn’t sit right with me in a way, especially since the main character is so young. Would recommend the author, because I truly loved her next book “Horrid,” but I’d recommend this book with a heavy list of trigger warnings first.
