Fucking incredible. Truly like nothing I’ve ever read before.
The amount of world building Hawkins flawlessly crammed (affectionate) into this book is immense. I’ve read trilogies that do less with what they have than what was accomplished in this book.
God, I loved Steve, Carolyn, Erwin. I loved Naga. Even Father by the end, really.
Book was brutal, with pretty graphic death and gore, but not really a horror in the way I was expecting. Still, delicious.
In conclusion, just wow. Check the trigger warnings if you need to, but I highly recommend this. Read a library copy, but I’m going to have to go buy one for annotating now. Fuck.
