there arent enough trigger warnings to prepare you for this one. trust me.
some passages are truly beautifully written and im appreciative of many of the descriptions of the protagonists emotional state as he navigates strange occurences. also extra points for the main characters name. loved that detail.
absolutely did not expect where it ended up based on where it started. what starts as a mystery, turns into a gruesome detailed account of incredible pain and suffering without any potential redemption. the moments of levity are few and far between. includes a confusing and interesting take on religious devotion. was definitely left with many unanswered questions.
was super hopeful up until about 30% of the way through and then became very hopeful (almost desperately so) at 65% that there would be some amazing redemption arc that made it all make sense. spoiler sorry, there isnt.
