Bis zur Hälfte wirklich spannend und interessant geschrieben. Danach einfach unnötig sexualisiert und unlogisch.

What a wonderful book to start the new year with. Not only did this book make me appreciate Gothic novels a tad more, the inclusion of fungi horror was something I didn’t realise I was craving for. And how gross and disgusting it was. But I do love
women killing bitches.
I also like it in a way that
there is still uncertainty on whether the gloom is really gone, leaving it to the beliefs of the reader. I personally like to think they did it, if only for my own peace of mind.
I also find it funny how I misconstrued the Doyles‘ plan before the reveal, as I thought
they were merely planning to slowly kill Catalina and have Virgil marry Noemí for whatever reason. I was kind of right I guess but still.

Good book, with an interesting premise and a great FMC but 1) the plot progresses really slowly at first 2) the 🍇 references and scenes were too much for me.

the story takes a little while to really get going, but i found this to be such a pageturner once i hit the halfway mark! really good exploration of the horrors of colonialism and misogyny.
