What a gruesome novel - Truly a visceral experience that definitely resembles some of the graphic physicality of her other works, but with a weird, haunted, medieval vibe. Very strange and yet still enjoyable if you don’t mind or even like gruesome tales — but not for the faint of heart. Highly recommend looking at all the content warnings if you’re unsure.
