I think my favorite part was the main storyline, I enjoyed reading their descent into the madness of the retreat. The poems kind of went right over my head and didn’t add much, and I’d say that the stories themselves were about 50/50 hit or miss. I would’ve enjoyed it more if I felt that I connected to the characters themselves more.
