Pulpy, with a clunky plot. The setting was well-described and I enjoyed the early CT wilderness. Very disappointed in the ending that Abitha wholly gave over to evil and Samson was revealed as the Devil. It felt contradictory to the nuance set up at the beginning. In the end, the book gave into simplicity, relied on stereotypes and became a blood fest. Poorly designed story and lazy characters. Writing was not well crafted and too on the nose :( Despite the clunkiness, 1 star for the setting description and hope it conjured with the early set up. Too bad it didn’t reward
