4.5

The tension makes this book a little uncomfortable to read, and it’s done so effectively well. 

This is a time period and region I don’t know much about, let alone in combination, and Mandelo brought it to life incredibly well. 

There’s a monster, but who is the real monster in this story? 

It packs a punch in a novella’s worth of pages, and is incredibly satisfying.
