I don't get the low ratings, it was an awesome book that delivered on its premise. I admit I initially cringed at the creepy dolls but I think that author handled it well. What I did dislike were a chapter or two that were almost fully combat sequences, that IMHO belonged more in a movie or TV show.
The protagonists may not be likeable but they are very sympathetic. The book tackles the topic of generational trauma both explicitly and symbolically. The author is so successful in rousing all kinds of emotions in their reader, including getting really angry at a character that makes a snide remark that gets under one's skin. Will check out their other books.
