3.0
This is a sparse book that gets to the exciting/horrifying plot points fairly quickly. I liked the meta commentary and appreciated the deep emotional beats. Mack’s characterization is by far the most thorough. The other characters pale in comparison, which hindered my emotional investment. Overall it was an effective slasher with a fun nod to a Greek myth.
