I'm terrible at leaving reviews. I always tell myself I'll go back and do it, but that never happens.
THIS BOOK DESERVES SOME IMMEDIATE LOVE AND ATTENTION.
Holy shit. I'm still reeling so this will not be as eloquent as this book deserves.
This book is the perfect blend of science fiction, fantasy, and classic gothic horror.
I've seen complaints that it gets a bit slow, but you owe it to yourself to push through that. It's so worth it!
Honestly, I think any perceived slowness in the book comes from the gothic vibe. The pacing reminds me of Rebecca by Dame Daphne du Maurier (a classic gothic novel): slowly building the setting, atmosphere, and tension before going buck wild near the end.
