This novella was intense, I love the psychological horror and I loved the plot. It really had me trying to figure out who and what Dorian really is, or if Ami is alive or dead. This book really had my mind turning cogs. I almost feel gaslit by Dorian to 😩 I truly believed him, and I also question, is he actually safe? Or is the ship actually the problem? I DON’T KNOW!!!! I finished this at 2am and now I’m going to wrack my brain over this. I do wish it were a longer book and had more lore about Dorian, I really wanted to learn more about who and what he is!
But this was a nice quick read, very fast paced but with a steady plot and I thought it was written wonderfully!
