This book was good and I thought it was interesting the way the story moved. Slowly at first and the. Fast like we were running out of time. I like how firmly this is his story. This caught me at the bad time of school becoming more intense and the plague and things are hard? I did enjoy this story telling and I think the monsters and shape of the story is innovative. The characters felt real especially because of their flaws.

Meh. I was drawn to this because of the cosmic horror aspect, but I was already struggling to care about the characters when the initial “cosmic other” creature started talking to the protagonist at which point I was done. I just didn’t care enough and the creature was already uninteresting enough without it talking.

DNF at 45%, just absolutely not for me. The dialogue felt like something from the CW but even worse???

The story itself was a solid 4. The quest to find clues and eventually a solution was entertaining, I enjoyed that.

However, Nick's constant inner whining and insecurities got on my nerves after a while. I understand where those come from, but it was a bit much and it kind of ruined the experience.
