“A long time ago, before the sky had been ruined, the iylmin people had been able to see the stars.”

A short but memorable introduction to a larger story I’d be really interested to read. Another review said the setting descriptions are so intense the woods become a character unto itself, and I definitely agree with that. The worldbuilding is super intriguing and raises a lot of interesting questions without leaving the reader confused, and I like what we get to see of the heroine, her resourcefulness and general badassery. The ending is kind of brutal, but that’s what we’re here for in horror. I know there’s another short story aside from the main book, and I’ll probably check that out as well.
