The writing was lovely but a bit sparse, which I think works for the theme. I thought the characters were decently fleshed out for a horror story. A lot of times newer authors will simply make placeholders to kill off for shock value or sympathy points.
I did appreciate howall the male characters died. Thank you for the self awareness about horror tropes. I think this was refreshing to see in a horror novel.
I can't say I appreciated the ending. It disrupted the pacing and I thought it was abrupt in a good way, but perhaps not well executed. In a way that's kinda the whole book. It feels unintentionally off balance. There's plenty mystery about the main location, their daily life, but the how's and why's of the 'antagonist' is barely touched upon. I wish there was a little more information on thefaerie, monsters, changeling, whatever the hell was the creatures and WHY they were bound there and what was the doorway? I finished the book thinking this was a duology or series, but I didn't notice such a thing mentioned.
I wouldn't mind reading whatever the author publishes next. They are skilled enough to put together a cohesive story with an interesting, fairly unique folk tale twist.
