It's very hard to write a review for a book like this, especially since I ended up liking it so much! The Starving Saints was gory and beautiful and constantly left you guessing what was true and what was not. All three of the main characters fully stand on their own and are fully fleshed-out characters. The way they are slowly built up and you learn more about each of them is done in such a tantalizing way, where you keep reading because you want to know more about them. The entire story feels like a fever dream and you can only watch helplessly as the entire castle falls farther and farther into madness. This story is very atmospheric and incredibly gory. I'm normally someone who doesn't care much for gore, but something about the gore in this is poetic. I just can't explain it, but no matter how bloody a scene got, I was entranced. Also, this book switches between the viewpoints of each main character wonderfully! It was so balanced, that I never got tired of reading one character's point of view. I really loved how the prose was written in this novel, and I'm eager to see what else Caitlin Starling will write down the line!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review!
