This is the first book that I've read by this author and so far, I'm decently impressed. Stolen Tongues is going to be one of my next reads as well.

This book was atmospheric, dark, mysterious, and sinister. I thought this book was creepy from start to finish and the creature kept drawing me in. I wanted more and more of it. I went into this book without knowing that this was tied to Stolen Tongues but I'm glad that I read this one first.

I loved the characters and the setting. I thought the pacing was even throughout and I didn't find myself bored by the story. 

There is a dog in this book and the dog does

not survive

for those of you wondering. 

I do think this book had some issues with how the history was presented at times, but overall I enjoyed this and the vibes. I'm excited to read the second book.
