What I loved
I absolutely loved how immediately immersed and invested into this story and these characters I was. There was a lot of information about the world thrown at the reader while going down a rabbit hole of murder, cults, and secrecy. I sometimes felt as overwhelmed as the characters, but still, it worked for me.
The characters were definitely a highlight for me, and I really enjoyed the multiple POVs we got to read from.
This was a stunning and fascinating genre blended story of fantasy, horror and thriller-y goodness, and I cannot wait for book 2!
