So, I didn't see a place to like... Leave a review? So y'all are getting it here.
First off, it was a fairly quick read! I was able to read the entire book in a few hours. And it was worth every minute of it.
Do be warned, without spoilers, there is fairly descriptive gore scene towards the beginning of the book and again towards the end. But it's well written and not just for shock value. And you can really feel how visceral the pain is. I'm usually not a big fan of gore, but I was prepared going in and it was very well done.
I absolutely loved the characters. Of course James is my favorite, unsurprisingly. But I very much enjoyed Jeddy as well as a complex character. I also adored Peter's characterization. He's so... Whimsical in the most disturbed way possible and I love him.
The plot itself was very good too! You can really only do so much with such a short book, but what it accomplished it did very well. It felt very well thought out and it followed through on it's promises.
I won't spoil the ending but it is... A tragedy is perhaps too strong a word, but it fits it best. But it does not give up it's hope for a brighter future. I thought it was very befitting and narratively sound.
I say, if you have a few bucks to spend, it's well worth it.
