i regret having not read this in a shorter amount of time, because had i done so, i definitely would’ve rated it higher solely for the fact that when i would go to read it, the plot would get only slightly jumbled. but nonetheless, i adored this book, definitely a lot more than i had originally thought. the writing creates a really eerie and unsettling yet somehow serene atmosphere, and i really liked the setting.
my only complaint is that i would’ve liked maybe a bit more backstory and history on some of the older island boys that passed—maybe what they did specifically in the war, their experiences with the sluagh, etc..
