I wasn't sure what rating to give Death Valley at first. I really enjoyed the internal monologue style throughout, but it took a bit of a turn towards the end that I'm not too sure about. Having sat with it for 24 hours, I do get why it was done this way, and I do like the journey our protagonist went on, so overall, I'm settling on a low 4 star, and I will definitely be getting my hands on the Pisces at somepoint. If you love a purposefully lonely gal on the edge of a breakdown, this is one for you. Reminded me a lot of One's Company in many ways.
