I really really enjoyed this book!! So unsettling and spooky from the beginning but not TOO much that it feels like there’s nothing left to discover or anticipate. You can definitely feel the passion and love the author put into this work.
The only thing is that I feel like it was a tad too long and Part 4 could have been significantly shorter (it felt like it dragged jusy a bit in some areas of this part). However, this wasn’t bad enough for me to dock the rating.
So while not perfect, my enjoyment of this book is really what drove me to give it 5 stars. Anything less would feel disingenuous.
