He does not write women well. He did not write the Mayans respectfully. But he did write scary stuff and that was well done

Funny story with this one: I initially checked out the abridged audio version accidentally. When I figured that out, I returned it and checked out the full version…

I should have stuck with the abridged. The story dragged on, the characters were all unlikable and shallow, and it fell all the way apart toward the end. All in all, pretty boring. TBH, the only reasons I didn’t DNF this one was because I was reading it for a reading challenge and the sunk cost fallacy.

This is an easy read and a page-turner.

Great premise but it was so boring. I get that they were stuck and the author is trying get the reader into the same fever-dream mindset but it was just way too slow. Didn’t pick up until way later and even then I was like “this was what you were leading up to????”

The characters are vile but honestly, it was the only thing that got a reaction out of me. It’s actually refreshing to not root for them and see what the lore was for this supernatural force that has them trapped. Too bad there was barely a backstory to it. So there was no pay off.

I thought I would like this book. It was promising and I actually recommended it to my brother towards the beginning and then I took it back LOL.
