That was deliciously weird, but I really wish we could have departed from the literary enough to allow room for conclusions to be drawn, ramifications understood, a message to emerge, etc.
This book was so unsettling and haunting, but still so beautifully written. The story was separated in different point of views and times, that were not really specified, which was confusing at first. The writing style is so beautiful and captivating. I cannot put in words how good it was.
I think I got it, maybe, but I'm not sure I cared.
There were some interesting elements and some fine writing, but I found this to be a struggle.

This book had parts that were captivating, but overall I never could quite believe or lose myself in the story, and I felt that parts of it were confusing. I liked the attempt at modernizing a classic myth, but it fell a bit flat for me.
Originally, I was a bit confused because the book is not written in a chronological order, although it is very easy to figure out where you are due to the repetitive chapter titles, "The Cottage," "The River," "The Hunt," etc.
The writing style in this book really fascinated me and I loved the spin on the old myth that was implemented in the story; I am not going to mention which myth it plays on because people told me what myth it plays on while I was halfway through the book and it took a lot of surprise away from me; I wished that I hadn't been told.
I absolutely loved this book.
