I had only heard great things about this book- and I leave it with mixed feelings. I heavily enjoyed Jade Song’s writing style (writing from future POV/easily transitioning between different character’s POV), and look forward to their future works- but overall, I don’t see myself coming back to this story. It has much to appreciate, much to dislike- but overall, it’s a very unique work, carving its own vein of styled horror.
