3.0

The beats are there, and Moreno's imagery is great, but the writing style lacks artistry. It's as if the story didn't take full advantage of being a novel. I rarely say this, but I think this would have thrived more as a movie rather than a book since the horror beats are quite strong. I did like Thiago quite a lot as I found his flaws to push the narrative forward, but I felt there was a vital missing thread that made the ending fall flat for me.
