  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated

“there are times i think that none of this matters. why put myself in danger with this book of the night? but i have to because if i write it, then it was real; if i write it, maybe we won’t just be part of a dream contained in a planet, inside a universe hidden in the imagination of someone who lives in the mouth of God.”

oh how i love haunting, atmospheric books. bazterrica's writing is so, so beautiful, and i'm so in awe of the dark, eerie atmosphere she's managed to create in such a short read. although i found it a little hard to follow at first, once i managed to get a hang of the writing style and the overall plot that was being developed, it was hard for me to put this book down. it was dark and moving, and one that i probably will be thinking about for a long time.
