Depictions of mental illness were awful and I wish this book was much more than it was.

This is a classic example of a novel that is perfect… until it isn’t. I truly thought I was going to give The Lost Village a five-star rating until I got to the very last chapters. The characters were well-developed, the eerie setting was expertly described, but the ending was just atrocious. It actually makes me irrationally angry now that I am reflecting on the story as a whole. I do not know why the author decided to end the novel in the way she did, but it completely ruined my reading experience.

I didn't hate it but I didn't love it. The ending kinda ruined the whole thing for me. I was left confused still. About halfway, I started enjoying the "Then" part more than "Now" and wish it wasn't so far in between. I love a good cult. While the "Now" part was fine, it got annoying. I was not a fan of the main girl.
