abysmal. this needed really aggressive editing. stylistically clunky at best. found myself frequently rolling my eyes and muttering “shut UP” at the book over “clever” turns of phrase. the word “terroir” appears once every 3 pages and never adds anything. that being said, there were some genuinely terrifying moments and great imagery that could have made an amazing novel if an editor had pruned back the rest of the garbage suffocating them.
