This was such an uncomfortable read. If the protagonist had been only a few years older I might have loved it, but she wasn't. She's 14 years old. The contents are just too disturbing and normalised. And I get why, because everything is narrated by her and she doesn't see anything wrong with what's happening to her but still. There's an adult man writing in real life. Pedophilia aside, the prose, setting and pacing were good. The descriptions were vivid and the lore was great as well. The characterisation was good, although I did catch some inconsistencies within Elizabeth's thoughts. I thought it could have had something interesting to say about gender. It is quite effective horror.
