This book was very dark, weird and gory. And hard to follow. But I still found it interesting, and it was a surprisingly endearing love story? I’m still thrown off by the fantasy elements of the story, things weren’t always explained properly, and it was just difficult to understand what was happening and why. I enjoyed it regardless, just wish it had an extra chapter to flesh out the romance and all of the folklore elements.
