Overall it was a middle of the road book for me. It was neither great nor terrible. I didn't personally find it super disturbing or anything, but I also don't tend to find anything too too terrible.

The plot slowed down significantly in the middle and required a bit of powering through, and parts of the ending felt a bit abrupt because of the difference in pacing, but I didn't mind that it wrapped up quickly, and it was satisfying both to have the mystery revealed and to have it fit so cleanly into the characters' arcs.

4.5
- Incredibly tense and sad scenes
- Good pacing and build up that doesn't feel anticlimactic or too regular
- World building spoilers:
- Characters are both likeable and unlikeable because of their flaws
- What it alludes to at the end is a bit confusing, but it doesn't change much and was still sarisfying
