So much world building in such a short novel. It builds slowly, getting you comfortable and then slowly dripping on the unease and darkness. And oh my gosh that final scene... I loved the idea and the conflict behind it so much. Definitely planning to read more of the author's work after this.

It is certainly an interesting story that peaked my interest about the world and the characters. I felt that the main character had a strong voice. The build-up to the actual event was long. In contrast to that the event felt almost like a disappointment. I just kept thinking, 'That was it?'
