The beginning really drew me in, but then the middle of the story (which is when you read about the back story and what happened in Sundial) felt a bit sluggish. There were times I was wondering why certain things were happening. Towards the end was when everything came together and I literally gasped when I realized what was going on. It wasn't the horror I was expecting, but in some ways, this was much worse.
