Hm. I don't know. The writing style was just a little clunky, through, very flowery and poetic. Reminded me of the roleplay community that takes place on Tumblr. That is neither a complaint nor a compliment. I absolutely enjoyed every character in this book, including the villains; the representation is an understatement. I don't think I've read a book yet with as many characters that reflect people I actually know and talk to in real life in a long time. They were all well written and made complete sense. Not to mention, Nick being autistic like me?! And it wasn't gimmicky and poking fun at what we go through?! Loved it.
It's just the way the plot unfolded, the smaller details that really fell apart for me, especially as we got closer to the end of the novel. Some of the body horror descriptions got repetitive and tired me out and it was a bit hard to follow everything that was going on (Because A LOT was going on).
But I overall enjoyed this book. Read it in about 3 days on my e-reader. If you enjoy Silent Hill, Resident Evil, zombie media, The Troop by Nick Cutter, and Evil Dead I think this would be a great fit for you.
