I’m not sure what I think of this book. Very gory, haunting, grim, deeply disturbing. I don’t regret reading it, though, and I will read the next book. I chose it because the spine art reminded me of Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, but the tone, atmosphere, and writing style of the books couldn’t be more different. Still, a worthwhile read if you are in the mental space to handle the darkness and violence. Also, without spoilers, there is a somewhat feline character who is intriguing.
