  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated

4.0

potentially a full RTC~ but I do want to note some specific CWs that bugged me which is why this is a 4☆ and not a 5☆ read:

ableism, fatphobia, depictions/phrases that feel at least a smidge racist. these were just a bit too constant throughout and I wish they weren't. otherwise, just wow. I loved this, I was hooked.

I don't hate religious leaning horror at all, honestly, despite being non-religious and critical of Christianity (especially evangelicalism/fundamentalist sects) myself. though that aspect of this story will absolutely not be for everyone so im not surprised some people aren't liking it for that aspect.
