The writing was captivating, the characters decently crafted for such a short book, and I loved how the themes were essential to the plot without completely overtaking them. I do wish, however, that the last few chapters hadn't felt so rushed. I also hoped for more in the way of...vengeance. In the end, the interpersonal tensions and the white ignorance were more disturbing than the actual horror elements (which was fine by me, but might not work for staunch horror readers).
