The premise and parts of the novel suggested it wanted to be like Midsommar, which was why I picked it up in the first place. But it was FAR too long, by which I mean it started well and ended well but had a couple of hundred pages of Beckett-like meandering in the middle. Fine for a certain genre of books but not the way this book had been marketed or set up really. So just ended up being boring - even the exciting bits were rendered boring by what I had to wade through to get there.
