tbh i'm not sure if i liked this more or less than What The River Knows. Some twists felt more like shock value than story elevation, but I was still there rooting for Inez and Whit to make it out the other side. Of course there were certain elements of their relationship that I wish were actually discussed, and there were parts of the fantasy element i WISHED were explored more. Overall though, I think I'm satisfied with the conclusion, and if the author wishes to expand the world more following other characters, I would not object.
