4.5

This is an engaging and horrifying read about the human condition: the inevitability of corruption, innate thirst for violence, and power struggle. It's so well-written and you can picture each scene vividly as it's described, hear the shouts and roar of the storm, as these characters slowly give in to the beasts within.
