4/4.5 stars.
Prepare yourself for a heartbreaking, raw, ride. Beautifully written, darkly descriptive, and intense.
The only reason this doesn't get the full 5 stars is because there was very little ebb and flow of emotions. It is mostly fraught, with very few light moments to break up the harshness. But I did enjoy it greatly, and am looking forward to the sequel!
For fans of Miss Peregrine's, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and The Nevers.
