I don’t usually read fantasy or horror, and this one is squarely both. After seeing it on many a must-read books list, I wanted to give it a go. I must say it was a spectacular tale! It took just a bit for it to get going, but once it did there was no pausing. I read the last 100 pages in one sitting.
