It was wonderfully atmospheric and overall a fabulous read.
However, I was disappointed with the last 100 pages or so. The story was metaphor rich, which ultimately fell flat at the end of the book when the metaphors and themes were laid out clearly for the reader, somewhat spoiling the metaphor, and in my experience, taking me out of the story all together.
I finished the book because I was almost finished with it anyway, but was very disappointed.

A cold and deliberate story. Poetic in its heartlessness.
I see why lots of people would not enjoy this, but it largely seems to be confusion of genre. This is not Sci-Fi, it's horror. It certainly isn't confusing, the MC is just confused.
But oh my god the abuse! Take the cws seriously.
