4.5
Absolutely gorgeous prose telling a gripping, gut-wrenching, genre-transcending story. Works equally well as a horror novel and as a novel about real-life horrors. Something about the way Rivers Solomon writes is just totally engrossing to me. Such a brilliant, fucked up, chilling, moving, story full of complicated and multi-layered characters.
