I thoroughly enjoyed this prequel. It was fun to find the little Easter eggs, and I think it was a really clever way to set up the main trilogy. Since the plot was lower stakes, I thought the jump scares were fun and atmospheric. As with all of these books, I had to suspend my disbelief a bit, but I still really enjoyed more of the creepy, smart writing that I've come to know and love from Jackson.
