3.5
That was… something. There were some aspects that really fascinated me, and I admire it for being able to give me actual nightmares from atmosphere alone, but then there were some chapters where I really struggled to stay on the horse because it was so absurd/slow/out of place? I’m somewhat tempted to continue on with the series, but I notice I get exhausted from pushing through the parts where I have little or no idea what’s going on. Overall I still enjoyed it, mostly because it is so unpredictable and has an intricate, symbol-based world-building like nothing I’ve ever seen before. And based on how my interest peaked during the most disturbing and morbid scenes I’m lowkey concerned about my own morality and mental well-being.
